This was an interesting read.  
While I did enjoy the underlying plot of the book, I was shocked and a bit disappointed in the ending as I didn’t see it coming nor that character being the cause which felt a bit betraying. 

Overall the way in which this book was romance was just too overly sexual for me and I wasn’t a fan of the openly detailed scenes, as they felt a bit too much and wattpad-esque. 

I guess it’s a good rec for those who like dark romance but it’s not for me at all.

I liked this book, but not as much as I expected to. I’m a dialogue junkie, so the snarky banter made me giddy, and I love a good friend group/chosen family, but I feel like maybe there were too many POVs. Dual POV is my catnip, because I love getting both sides of the story, and I don’t mind multiple POVs if it’s done right, but I felt like the extra perspectives in this book took away from the main couple’s story and slowed it down for me. I will be continuing the series though, because I really liked all of the characters and their complexities and I want to see how the mystery around Casey’s accident unfolds.
