My least favorite of the Chestnut Springs book so far :( For several reasons. First of all, I feel like we don't really get a proper introduction of Sloane in the previous books. We see her for a brief minute in the second book, but she doesn't really get mentioned before - this caused me to not be super invested in her, because I didn't know her. Secondly is that I guess I didn't really enjoy Jasper as a character? Maybe he was a little bit too broken for me, and a bit too much of a hypocrite (like when he was saying he didn't want to tell Sloane to tell what to do but also being a controlfreak at at the same time and telling her exactly what to do). I guess it just didn't sit right with me. I loved seeing some of the other characters though, and the setup for Winters story seems like fun.
