Loved this book, although it's definitely darker than the other books in the series so far - but of course, most everything ends up OK in the end. The only thing I didn't like was how pushy Aaron got at times. There are definite implications about

Archie

being a child predator, what with the obsession/pressure about Emily and Aaron's relationship. The toxic relationship isn't between Emily and Aaron.

Archie is obsessive about Aaron's relationship with Emily and seems to metaphorically be a groomer. Millie ignores it at first because she doesn't want to believe anything bad about her BF.
