Ok this book surprised me. Not my favorite of the series but it was a good book. It had some dark and heavy subjects but I think they were handled in a good way. Mental health was a big thing in this book and I think that Lauren was able to represent chronic anxiety very well. Chronic illness was also a main topic in this book and it surprised me, I didn’t expect this but I think it was a great thing plot wise. I think that it brought good conversations about therapy and medication management. I think that Jax was struggling a lot and it is very clear his development throughout the story. I struggled a bit with connecting with him, he was very annoying at some points but at the end of the day I liked his character, just not in the way I was expecting, and definitely not like Noah, Santiago and Liam. The way he handled some things was questionable and I think that’s why I struggled with his character. Elena was for me the best part of the book. She is such a strong MMC and such a great character overall. She had a very rough childhood and we can see how much she struggled with that but also was able to heal throughout the book. Something I didn’t not like about the book was the stereotypes that were placed in Elena and her family, it just didn’t fit with me and it pissed me off at some times. I do think not everyone would like this book, but there’s not much I could say about it. It’s just a book that you have to read and discover yourself and not based it off only on reviews. I would read it again if I were to read the whole series.

Did I devour this yes? But reluctantly because for some reason I’ve vowed to not love this books. Doesn’t make them any less addicting to read.
