it started off bad, it was solid in the middle, and then… the ending felt rushed and there were quite a bit of f1 inaccuracies within this one. the first still stands as my favorite

I'm hating the dialogue, the premise is really silly, the adults act like dumb teenagers, the characters feel petty and detached from reality, seriously what kind of person goes to Italy on a waitress pay to look for her unknown father??? and then breaks into the property because thinks it's the only way, only to stumble into a hot rich dude and just... I'm sorry, I can't.

I guess these are just classic Lauren Asher traits (like mommy and daddy issues, which are also present in this book), which is why I'm done trying with her, when's it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be.

This year I'm allowing myself to dnf whenever I feel like the story isn't doing it for me instead of pushing through out of stubbornness or curiosity (which I don't even feel about this book).

About 2/5 of it was about F1 so it gets 2/5 stars. It was fya in the beginning but then it just descended into a corny mess.

This was a good book but it wasn’t the best one out of the series. I think it’s a great story line but I feel like it could have been better developed or done in general. Santiago’s development is the best part of the book. I think him being able to accept himself and his disability and be able to do what he loves even with his disability and him being entirely happy is such an incredible message and what made the book great. He is just such a good man and if he is not in your fictional boyfriend’s list then I don’t know what you are doing. Chloe’s development is also so beautiful to read, I think that she grew so much form being someone that has been manipulated and used throughout her whole life and then being able to stand up for herself and be genuinely happy at the end of the book was beautiful. I think this book is more about the character’s individual development more than the love story. It was a great way to end the series and I would definitely read it again.

Beautiful ending to a beautiful and heartbreaking and kind story. I can't believe its all finished. Would defs find time to read the series again if I could. I loved Santiago and Chloe so much as they were so cute and perfect for each other.
