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. A full-length New Adult Romance that bridges the gap between the second and third books. Thrive must be read before Addicted After All if you have not read the Calloway Sisters spin-off series.

"Seeing as I just read the first two novels in the Calloway Sisters series today and yesterday (following the reading order suggested in the front of the book), I found this to be rather repetitive and uneventful. Never mind the backtracking. I went from Daisy being 18 to being 16 again. A lot of the dialogue is the same, word for word. Literally the exact same conversations but from Lily & Lo’s point of view. <br/><br/>I just hate knowing what’s going to happen, and too many things did not come as a surprise due to my prior knowledge. There was some new content, but not enough. Most of it was recycled. I did like that Poppy made a (small) reappearance, as she’s been largely absent throughout most of the series.<br/><br/>The highlight of this novel was when Lo reprogrammed Scott’s phone and changed a bunch of the text shortcuts. My personal favourite: ‘I’m on my way’ to ‘I want to smell your asshole.’"
"I loved being able to see how much a Lily and Lo have grown. I felt so bad for her because of how the media treated her because of her addiction instead of just supporting and accepting her. I am also Samantha Calloway’s #1 hater. I also love how sweet Rose and Lily are to each other."

"I..am very much confused? I honestly don’t know whether I liked or disliked this book. There were moments I liked and disliked. Idk, I just felt really bored because this is basically just Lilo’s point of view of Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower. I’m still very much proud of lily & lo though.. that’ll never change. It definitely did take me some time to finish, and I hated that. Sooo.. I really don’t know. It’s gonna be left unrated because I just feel really conflicted."
