This book was such a roller-coaster, but i loved it. I felt like the book had a balance of descriptions in emotional, action and eventful situations. I found the story in this book was extended into the book The Maddest Obsession, which i enjoyed very much. 
Check content warnings beforehand as this series is very dark and may be sensitive for some readers.

There is no plot at all. I do not understand people's obsession with this book and its characters.

Omg book tok was right this was so good! It was steamy and funny and I basically loved everything about it. I loved the family dynamics, mostly the sister, brother, cousins, and mom and grandma(not the dad). I also really liked Elena as a character. The only thing I wish was more Nico POV’s other then that it was amazing.
