This book absolutely destroyed me and I will never get over it. Extraordinary. It made me feel absolutely awful and I didn't want to read on but I had to and I cried. So much. In the middle of a bookstore. Thanks, Sally Green.

I’m mad that this one was such a let down because book 2, whilst not perfect, was pretty fun. Here the plot is so squished in and fast paced that there’s no time to breathe or ruminate on the themes, especially since things get quite dark in this one it would have been nice to be able to contemplate it properly. Even Gabriel and Nathan’s relationship, which I was gagging for in book 2, just happened mostly off page and there was no like discussion about it. I HATED the ending as well, killing off the best character and then randomly introducing a son?? Natan’s character development was butchered and rushed. So yeah, unfortunately probably wouldn’t really recommend this series overall.

I'm disappointed in how this book ended. The fact that Gabriel died at the end just makes me angry. Maybe it would be too unrealistic to have a happy ending? But the fact that this is just another series that ends with the bury your gays trope really fucking sucks. I can't fully express how disappointed I am that my experience of reading this series, which I really enjoyed, is soiled by how Green chose to end it.
