... I anticipated that this final part would be 20-25k words after I added in the final chapter that I was working on when posting part 2.

The theme of this novel has been "Haley believes this love story can be told in a much shorter, easier journey, and she falls for it every time." Because, the thing is, I love writing this journey. Somehow, the idea of best-friends-to-lovers is feeling like the highest stakes there could possibly be, and I don't want to miss a step in doing it justice.

So, it is actually turning out to be over 45k words, and is very close to being entirely done :) Sunday is the latest that it will be complete, and I will put all of the pieces together for you! And then, next week, I will be mailing out a $10+ patron tier exclusive in the mail to everyone who has filled out the google form with their mailing address - so make sure to keep your eyes peeled for that in October!

Alas, that brings me to this post. 

As I put the final pieces together, I'm trying to settle on an epilogue. I have... several options, because I can see their whole future laying out before me. But I honestly can't pick - and I think having to pick just one moment for an epilogue when I feel like I have SO many in my brain might be the most difficult thing for me, and it's the thing that takes the most time for be to decide, when writing.

So instead of me trying to decide on it, myself, while trying to also put on the finishing touches in the chapters I've been writing, I'm going to turn it to you! 

What would you like to see as Riley and Gianna's official ending?

Whatever is decided here will be posted for you, either as the official epilogue in the book or just an extra bonus scene for all of you. 

... let me also say, that in the last week, I've also decided to fully write out several scenes from Gianna's point of view, in the past. Those will be posted here, for you, within the next couple of weeks, after I finish this part!

I'm a sucker for proposals/weddings even though they are done so often so I had to pick that but I'll eat up anything you write!

Misty

Thanks for the update! Cannot wait to see the final story, Haley. Thank you for writing it <3

Sonia

After reading the first 2 parts, I was wishing there’d be more than a couple chapters left, as there seemed to be so much more story left for these two characters. SO HAPPY that turned out to be the case. And while this won’t make a good epilogue, I echo the requests for Gianna POV prequel content!

Hana Huskovic

This made my day with being (potentially) furloughed! I loved this novel so much!

Haley Cass

I gotta tell you - one of the other setbacks in my timeline is that... Gianna's prequel POV is DEMANDING to be told. So I may have had to sit back and take some notes on that story, too...

Nicole

Haley - we love you and your inability to keep your writings short! ♥️ can't wait!

Monica McCallan

Who isn't a sucker for a good proposal 😘

Cora Linehan

I'm very excited to hear that there's more than we thought!

Betsy Walker

You never have to apologise for delays due to more content. Good things come to those who wait :)

Lexi Le

Will there be pre+sequel like Better than Expected?😶

Carolina Barra

The book is amazing so far! I cant wait to read the ending and the extra scenes 😍 About the mail, I think I did send my address but since I am from Brazil do I still get the mail? If you rather use my email It would be fine by me cause I know mailing international should be expensive

Liz

Other: Proposals, snippet from future are great but occasionally over exhausted by writers. Why not an epilogue from eli, mia, joel or even athena's view of them coming full circle from friends to lovers, to married or whatever. Whatever you decide i'm sure i'll be happy - great story so far!

Alex L

I need to know how these 4 babies came about!

Misty

I see the theme of this novel is ongoing :) take your time, Haley! We will gobble it up in seconds regardless! Cannot wait.

Nicole

The wait is killing me but I know it's going to be so so good

Sonia

Purchased OTSP too and couldn’t help noticing it seemed a bit longer than I remembered…and what a treat/surprise! Can’t wait to read Gianna’s prequel POV.
