Even though I didn’t like the whole insta love thing I did like how Miles respected her before he knew her better. I thought that was done really well.
I liked this plot better than the last because it definitely felt like more was happening and there was enough of the QB for it to be interesting but not too much to where it got annoying.
I am so glad Sophie didn’t give Rocco a redemption arc. I thought it was weird to give Cat a POV in this book but I guess it had to be done.
I love loved Ozzy and Chay and him need to end up together yesterday. I truly was mortified when he killed Wade because I did NOT want a Jason Grace all over again
DEAN CRYING??!!! HOLY SHIT!!! (Don’t tell anyone but I totally thought that was hot😂)

Check TWs, and FYI the bullying is not bully as in bully romance, but legitimate harassment, assault, bullying, etc.

What is it about Sophie Lark's heroines that just have me tied up in knots??? 😭 Zoe and Cat are a prime example of women who are constantly doing what is expected of them and bending to the will of their father, but they're such strong women, and come out on top.
I think that Rocco (Zoe's arranged fiance) might literally be the worst fictional guy I've read recently. Literally a god awful human being. The bottom of the barrel. Vile. So while Sophie is able to write these strong women and loveable heroes, she really excels in writing absolute awful villains. Basically Rocco is what I imagine the villain from the Sinner's Duet would have been like as a teen. Like I said, THE WORST!
Zoe and Miles gave us a delightful opposite attract romance which flowed nicely over the course of the book. Pacing in the relationship seemed great, believable progression (although I would've loved more of the "feels" if that makes sense, more emotional connection), intimacy was great. Also, with regards to intimacy, the juxtaposition between Rocco and Miles dominant personalities (where they were both dominant male characters, Miles was respectful of consent and Rocco was just... Again, the worst. I can't emphasize this enough) and how Zoe responded to both was *chefs kiss*
Standout of the whole story? Cat!!! Oh my lord, the character progression from this meek 19yo who was terrified of her own shadow to the baddest bitch of the series so far, while still maintaining her air of innocence, and integrity. Absolutely stunning, I'm all for it, I cannot wait to see where her story goes!! I also hope we get to see more of Ozzy in future books!
Anyway, highly recommend. Although, a word of warning, several times in this book I was absolutely SOBBING. So consider yourself forewarned 🙏

Her growth was astounding and the biggest highlight for me - Miles and his big brain come close second though.
