A Life Freed, picks up a few months after the truth of what really happened to Rowan's baby brother Aiden came to light and what was left of Rowan's family fell apart. The truth revealed that her mother had killed Aiden and blamed it on Rowan and her Grandmother knew the truth but kept it hidden all these years and of course Rowan's sister Trina was a manipulative cow who wanted everything her way including laying allegations that Rowan's boyfriend Mike at the time raped her. Now at college and studying to be a Vet, life seems to be picking up for her but of course Rowan starts to wonder whether her life will ever be carefree and drama-free as she moved in to her help her high school best friend Jess raise her son, what will happen though when things get too tough for Jess and she up and leaves her son , with Rowan having to care for him as well as juggle her school and workloads. Rowan's sister Trina has been hanging around campus as she has joined a religious cult , this surprised Rowan as Trina isn't the same sister she remembered leaving behind. Things have been going good with her new boyfriend Shane, but what will happen when Michael - her ex comes back into the picture . Though they share alot of history, are they suited or is he pulling her back ?

I really enjoyed A Life Freed as it summed the whole series up and it showed that despite Rowan's upbringing and troubles, she always had friends she could rely on and sometimes though we may not choose our family. We do have to get past and accept the family dramas in order to really be "free".

Thank you to NetGalley for a free eARC copy of this book, in exchange for my honest review.

All of the books in this series were thought out exceptionally well. There were so many ways to relate to or find empathy for the characters.

A Life, Freed does not disappoint its predecessors! Though there were many choices that I was yelling at characters for, I was still able to see the reason why people were making their choices. This would be a great book for any adult who is going to work with high school kids... they may not go through everything Rowan does, but most kids will go through a version of at least part of her story. It's great to see the psychological response play out in these characters over 3 books.
