American King by Sierra Simone takes the emotional rollercoaster to a whole new level, leaving me simultaneously loving and hating the characters. The mind-blowing secrets and revelations kept me on the edge of my seat. And the satisfying happily-ever-after for the love triangle brought a perfect end to this series.

I mean… it was fine. Not something I’ll read again, but I’m glad I finished the series. Weird way to wrap it up, though, ngl.

The ending had me in shambles! I didnt love how the main action in this book was told, not shown. But i really did like Sierra Simone’s afterword. On to the next one!
