This bonus Epilogue is very quick to read right after The Play as it is only 8 pages. It includes both Demi and Hollis' perspectives.

ANYWAYS~

If you liked The Play you should check this out~ ~

Rating: Just enhancing my love for the full-length book, that being said, 💫 5 stars 💫

Honestly, Hollis and Rupi should have gotten their own book, I love them

[Tarynrose · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't care what anyone says but I still think we needed a book for hollis and rupi. I love them so much they're underrated 🤧

Este epilogo extra lo lei hace un tiempo, sin embargo, Goodreads elimino el libro, por lo que volvi a leerlo para volver a escribir esta ( breve ) reseña.

Esta escena es muy muy corta, apenas pasa nada, no obstante, si te gusto The Play estoy segura de que esta escueta lectura te hara pasar unos minutos agradables.

Estuvo ok pese a ser tan superficial.

2.5 Estrellas!

The three stars are for Hunter and Demi. I have zero interest in Hollis and Rupi, in fact I find them very insufferable.

The equivalent to a marvel post credit scene

Protect Rupi and Mike at all costs ❤️

[Maria Clara · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The fact that this epilogue is about Mike and Rupi’s relationship says everything. They deserved a book. Glad at least I got to see a little bit of their relationship 🥰

[Andrea · Rating 3 out of 5]

An okay ending, I really don't care for Hollis and Rupi but liked the little added bonus of Demi and Hunter

[ash · Rating 4 out of 5]

I got this ebook via signing up for Kennedy's mailing letter (which was free).

This bonus epilogue expands on the original epilogue in The Play. I truthfully prefer the epilogue in the book and I'm glad the book ended where it did. This epilogue gives us an extra sex scene between Hunter and Demi and then flashes to Mike and Rupi in Nepal. Hunter and Demi's portion is fine, meh, mostly exactly the same as the original.

Mike and Rupi's part picks up where they end their phone call with Hunter/Fitz/Summer/Brenna/Demi. The couple seems to think their friends weren't elated by their news and they agree with each other that most people are stupid. What a nice sentiment to have about your friends. Not. I'm met with the same feelings I had for these two in the original book - how are these students that got into an Ivy League school, and Mike graduated. Whatever, I'm just so glad the next book is not about them, because I don't know if I could read that. I don't think a relationship described as "always fighting or always banging" is going to work out in the longterm and their fights were no fun to read. Their whole relationship was very blah for me.

This epilogue gets a solid 2.5/3 for me, it doesn't add much to the story and I think the main book is better off without it.

The fact that this is listed as Briar U #3.5 is the stupidest thing ever. It’s like 3 pages of new content and it’s all pointless. It’s just a ploy for people to subscribe to an email newsletter. Do not waste your time!!
