Timeline? What Timeline?
Alright, I'm going to start this one off with I truly was just burnt out when I read this book and my brain might have just been fried beyond belief. Despite this, what the actual hell was the timeline in this book? I'm going to need someone to draw it out for me because I was so lost.
The Characters
Ariana: Is Ari bat shit crazy? Yes. Do I relate to her more than I have any of the other FMCs in this series? Also yes. Something y'all don't seem to realize is that we "crazy bitches" take care of shit. What needs to get done will be done and we will have a wonderful time ruining everything (hey, Taylor). Ari really said, "Oh there's a problem? Here. Solution," even if the solution is literally framing her own death. ( THAT IS NOT IN THE BOOK. THAT IS NOT A SPOILER. )
Cash: Cash. Oh, Cash. Bless his little heart. He tries. He really does. Half the time he is just like any man I have ever met and is just clueless and wandering around with no aim. Again, bless his heart. He honestly was a great MMC though. I was honestly was rocking with Cash because Cash is rocking with us. Poor thing did everything he could to keep Ari happy and safe.
Things I Loved
I honestly loved like. Most of the book. I loved the dynamic between Ari and Cash even if it did get on my nerves at times and I was screaming at my Kindle or laptop for them to just get it over with and fuck already 😅 It was pretty good. This one felt more plot heavy than the others, which I am not complaining, just wasn't expecting.
Things I Didn't Love
I truly think it wasn't just me when it came to the timeline. I wish that part had been more clear but otherwise it was great.
The Final Verdict
I feel like those of you who love Sad and can do with the more plot heaviness of this book will really enjoy it. I do feel like getting the timeline straightened out first will help most and trying to record the timeline while reading will be beneficial as well.
