About this listen

Two years will change them forever. When rumors spread like wildfire - like having three-ways with her boyfriend's rock climbing brother - Lily Calloway spirals into a dark place. Her bedroom. Loren Hale is more confident and determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much?

Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they'd see, demons they don't know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn't think they'd meet. Not this soon. And one rumor could be too much for them to handle. It will test their greatest limitations, and if they don't hold onto each other, someone is going to drown.

For the most fulfilling listening experience, the Calloway Sisters series should be listened to along with the Addicted series.

Love this series!

I love this series, but this is definitely my least favorite. Whereas I appreciate the different perspectives I got bored since we had already been exposed to the events in the previous 2 stories. Lo’s narrator grew on me this time, but I’m still not 100% sold. LOVED Lily’s narrator.

Can't reccomend this book enough another great one

well the ladies did it again. great book. love how they further explained the view points of Lilly and Loren.
it's a must have and explains sooo much more and gives the reader a look on the inside of some of the issues that these 3 couples face.

I love LiLo!!!!

I love these characters, I just love them more with each book! The direction these books have taken with the media and reality TV show makes me think, it's sad that that's how reality really is, people are really that horrible! I just want Lilly and Lo to get their happily ever after! I didnt follow the authors advice and read this instead of reading Rose and Daisy's stories first but I did that because I feel attached to Lilly and Lo and reading about their story through the others first seemed wrong to me. I kinda wish the author had written the others stories separate somehow. I know why they did it because they are all so intertwined but still, wish there could have been a way!
this is worth credit, money, and the time to read it! I love growing with Lilly and Lo and watching them finally pull their lives together and make it!

They will THRIVE and you'll fall in love again

I don't know how or why I've waited so long to pick this up, but here I am. Finally falling for this series all over again.

This book is either 2.5 or it's book 6. I guess it's all in how you look at it. But this book covers events from Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower. It's just told from Lily and Lo's POVs, which guess is why you could technically read it without KtS or HF, but why in the world would you do that (I'm #TeamRykeandDaisy all the way so I'd never skip them).

Beautifully written. A true story and series of family, friends, addiction, love, scandal, life, and overcoming. I can't wait to continue this journey with the Calloway sisters, Loren Hale, Ryke Meadows, and Conner Cobalt.

I love these books!

Maybe spoiler

I love the Rose character but I was kinda disappointed by he just giving in to marriage and babies after resisting so long.. it does make her a bit more human.

His brother, her sister… totally saw that coming 🤦🏻‍♀️ and again disappointed by how his brother handled it.. both of those characters are strong too and the weaknesses doesn’t look good on them at all.

Lilly and Lo, although Lo is tipping up Lilly is really doing great and it feels like she is doing ok in spite of it all.

Can’t wait for the last book!!

5 Addicted Stars!!!

This is hands down my favorite series. I am so deeply connected and attached to these characters!!!!!

I wasn't quite sure what to expect from this book. I knew Thrive would cover the material from Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower, but from Lily and Lo's point of view. Is this going to be repetitive? Is this going to be boring? I was very excited to read it (because I just can't get enough of the characters and I miss them) but I was afraid it would not be quite as exciting as the next installment of brand new material.

But I was wrong.

This book had TONS of new material in it. There were a few scenes that I remember from the other perspectives given in KTS and HHF, but the majority of this book was brand new. Krista and Becca Ritchie are so talented. I love their writing and I love how they put a different spin on things we have already read about. Props, ladies!!!

Let me just say that Lily cracks me UP!!!

""What do you want for your birthday?" C0ck." ***choke, splutter, laugh!**

"Shut up vagina." LMAO.

Lily is funny, she is sweet, she is painfully shy and she is ashamed of her addiction. And I love every bit of her.

But most of all, I love Lily and Lo together.

"He hugs me close. There is nowhere safer than in Loren Hale's arms."

Loren's POV really, really pulled on my heartstrings. He is an unapologetic @sshole, but he does care what everyone else thinks. He wants approval from Lily, from Ryke, from his father. He wants to make Lily happy. He wants to be worthy of her.

"I'm going to love Lily how I want to love her. Overwhelmingly, umcompromisingly."

"Our love is rare. It's one I can't abandon, even if I tried. .... When she loves, I truly, truly fly."

Lo loves Lily so completely. He makes me melt. But reading about his rough patch was so hard for me. Even though I already knew from HHF that he was going to struggle with his addiction, reading about it from his perspective was so emotional.

My favorite part is seeing how Lily, Lo, Rose, Connor, Daisy and Ryke all interact with each other. These 6 characters have such a bond. They stick together through good times and bad times. They fight, they bicker, they love, they support, they are family. They are flawed and real and I love them all the more for it.

I wish I could jump into the book and become a part of their family.

I know I'm not doing this story justice with my review.

Suffice it to say that I HIGHLY recommend this series. And this book. Even if you have read KTS and HHF you need to read this book. I don't want to miss one moment of the series.

Thank you so much, Krista and Becca for such a wonderful series!!!

I love the narrators for Lily & Lo - they are PERFECT!!! Highly recommend the audiobook!!
