Hey, so I know I haven't writen in a while, but I have been really busy with homework .... and reading. Now yesterday was Mother's Day here in the UK so do tell me what you got for the most important woman in your life.
Today's post, as you might know if you read the title, is about the final (sadly) book in the Threads series. This post will tell you the ending so please do not read on if you do not want any spoilers.

Ok, everyone ready? Steady? Read on!
Firstly, I must say that I did not exactly....like the ending. It was good, but not
good good so I was a bit disappointed. Here I have summerised the ending seperatly for each character:
So
Nonie has been getting distracted by the fashion industry lately and her grades are falling down, her mother is rather worried about her and threatens her that she might make her quit being Crow's Manager. In the end, though, Nonie manages to up her grades, land a job in
Vogue and fall in love with sweet Liam (there is a boy called Liam in my street, too. He's not sweet. He's five and adores pulling my hair...).
Edie is starts to feel the stress and, eventually, gives up her dream to go to
Howard. Instead,she hints that she will become a social worker (with the help of Jenny's mum Stella) and the last chapter shows that she and Nonie's brother, Harry, finally get together.
Jenny was asked to come and work overseas in a huge production. Meanwhile, at home, Edie discovers her huge secret ..... Her mum (Stella) has some form of deppression. So Jenny has to make a huge choice between looking after her mum and her kittens or starring in the latest New York musical? She chooses the broadway, but only after Edie promises to look after her mother.
Now taking her GCSEs,
Crow is also given the hefty task of creating the wedding dress. However, much to Nonie's dismay (Grandma:HA! Take that Nonie!) Crow realises that she only took fashion because it is the closest thing to her actual passion, Art. So she chooses not to have her own fashion label, but is still satisfied.
In the first few chapters of the book,
Harry proposes to Isabelle, but we soon see that it is not what he wants and that he is actually miserable. Fortunately, Nonie identifies this (and much to Grandma's dismay) manages to talk some sense into him before the Big Day. As I mentioned above, he and Edie get together in the end.
And the romance doesn't just stop there because
Nonie's mum falls in love with their neighbour and he moves in with them in the end of the novel. I'm not sure how much I like him as he is not mentioned as much as I would like him to be.
Overall, I think this novel touches many issues that are present within life and relationships. Sophia Bennett succeeds in informing readers, not only how important change and choices can be, but also, how we should be open to both.
I have greatly enjoyed this triology and would recommend everyone get on their reading glasses and read the book. If you already have, then do let me know what you think.
