Best books to learn Organic chemistry, in order

Organic chemistry is famously the wall students hit because they try to memorize it. The subject only works when learned in order: bonding and structure first, then functional groups, then stereochemistry, then reaction mechanisms — because every reaction is explained by the electron-pushing logic underneath. Get the fundamentals of how electrons move and the reactions become a system, not a list. Structure, then mechanism.
