I needed an epilogue. The academic in me is dying to know what she got on her paper.

Appreciated the ADHD/learning disability representation. Sadly the writing remains terrible.

I love this author and was expecting a 5 star book. I was highly disappointed when I instead got a 2 star book who’s *only* saving graces were the amazing side characters.

Fitz is no Garrett 
I really liked summer despite her random im not a feminist speeches, even though she absolutely behaves like one 
Fitz was a bit too much of a dickhead at times, they skip to I love yous very quickly compared 
Overall a solid briar u addition

this book was pretty good, but not elle kennedys best. the writing felt a little bit disjointed. some aspects of the pacing and characterization just werent great. but im still a sucker for a romance, esp an elle kennedy romance

There’s a little to much chase in The Chase. For most of the book, Fitz earnestly acts like a guy who doesn’t want to be caught. But a little nudity totally solves that and all his other relationship issues, right? 

There was such a great tone of feminism throughout the book, but then there’s some weird shit like admiring a Nazi collaborator, and casual cocaine use.
