this felt just a little too surface level. it seems like so many of the important parts of this beeok happened off page and we only got to hear about it. (sebastian going to therapy being a big one). anyway, i could’ve done with fewer time jumps and more on page happenings. HOWEVER, ziggy has my heart, and i’m so happy to finally read her story 🫶🏼

First five star review of the year amd my favourite of the bergmans so far. I loved Ziggy and Sebastian so much and as always brilliant rep from Chloe. 

Now I count down the days until Viggo and Lula's story arrives and we leave the bergmans for the last time. (Chloe please write a spin off, prequel or have them cameo in the wilmot sisters series). 

Spoilers!

FRANKIE IS PREGGERS OH MY GOD. BERGMAN GRANDCHILD 3 IS COMING

Viggo bergman you are the love of my life.

Holy moly, Batman. I loved this one! Brother's best friend?! YES PLEASE. I loved Ziggy and how fiercely independent she was, how big she loved, how well-developed she was written. And Sebastian? I love me some tatted up bad boy with a heart of gold. This was one a joy to read.
