This was my least favorite from the series. Part two of the book really dragged. I found pip obnoxious, Ravi deserved better.

i wont lie i did struggle to get through the first half of the book as i found it quite repetitive and slow however i could not put it down towards the end and i definitely got emotional over the choice pip and ravi had to make but the ending made me smile ☺️

Such a good end to the series couldn’t stop reading - would be 5 stars but some things annoyed me

like when Pip blatantly decides the police won’t believe her literally getting kidnapped even though she has a lot of evidence, and that they wouldn’t consider a self defence case (i’m not a lawyer but like the guy was going to kill her ) and that she distanced herself at the end of the book. Also why didn’t she consider Jason Bell sooner????
