ARC REVIEW
End Game by @authorrileypaige
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4/5)
This is a heavy read — definitely check your trigger warnings. Anyone who’s lost a loved one will feel Sloane and Logan’s grief in their bones. Pops is impossible not to love, and his determination to make sure his kids are cared for is genuinely heart-wrecking. The message that sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for someone is simply show up and stay hit hard.
Sloane is incredibly relatable, trying to keep her world from collapsing by clinging to routines and the things she can control. She’s so well written — I was right there with her through every shower cry, and shaky breath. I spent half the book stressed that she was going to push Logan away when she needed him most, and cheered that there wasn't a third-act breakup.
And Logan? His life has dealt him a brutal hand, and he has every reason to spiral, but instead, he shows up quietly and consistently for Sloane in a way no one else can. It’s not flashy love. It’s steady one — glasses of water on the nightstand and day dates so she can feel normal again. He came off like kind of a jerk earlier in the series, so watching him earn his redemption arc was deeply satisfying.
The epilogue is a perfect, emotional send-off to the couples we’ve come to know and love. I’m going to miss the PCU Storm crew, but I’m absolutely ready for whatever Paige writes next.
Thank you to the author for the ARC!
