That was SOOOO good. I loved it so much. I LOVE Lana. I love Leonard. I love Hadley.

I do wish that the Kyle chapter was longer.... much longer.

but the ending....... WHY CANT MEN JUST LISTEN?!?!??!?! its giving Josh from twisted hate vibes.

3.0

Ok so I was really really obcessed with this series and still kinda am but book 4 gets horrendously horrendously graphic and just absolutely horrifying to an extent I can’t even put into words and I honestly would never recommend this series to anyone because of it 
Obviously the first few books are also absolutely horrifying and really graphic but it just gets so much worse to an extent I somehow didn’t expect - and idk if I’m gonna finish the 5th book, I’m definitely not gonna finish it tonight either way cause absolutely fucking not - no way

Oof.  The insta-lovey codependency has consequences when you break their trust.  The end of this one isn't quite a cliffhanger but you know it's all going to be wrapped up in the next volume and so shit will go down.
