This book was such a rollercoaster, and the ending hit me hard. I’m so happy for Madison and the fact that she was able to get away from Wayne, but my heart breaks for Drew and Lola. I loved this book so much, it made me cry like a baby. That epilogue broke me.

Maybe I was less impressed because I guessed the ending? I’ve seen a lot of hype but don’t get it. The ride was okay but found it predictable about halfway through.
