Okay, so I really liked this book. However, I just wasn’t vibing with the

name change to Ella

, and something about the plot DIDNT sit right with me. LOVE THE

PROPOSAL

AT THE END!!! Can’t wait to see where this series goes. Overall great book (description of Emmaline had my jaw dropping in chem class), but there could’ve been more to it. :)
