Honestly, anything would've been a masterpiece after the last book I read. But still, this story got me thinking about so much!
The friendship and pain that sometimes comes with it.
Loss and regret.
Love and fear of it.
Trust and betrayal.
I liked the characters so much, with their flaws and fears and strenghts. Even Jemma, who did the unforgivable, but who regretted it for the rest of her sadly short life.
Everyone was incredible.
Well, except Nick. Fuck Nick.
But really, the characters had so much depth and their individual stories were so interesting. Even the bullshit Nick pulled, it was very eye-opening to see how his very stupid brain worked.
And the emotional trauma that almost every one of these beautiful souls has endured. It literally brings me to tears. The strength they needed to get back up and continue to be amazing people, loyal friends, caring brothers, and loving partners.
Furthermore, the smut was hot af. But I liked how neither Caleb nor Ava were portrayed to be these deities of sex or anything, and rather it focusing on how good it was because they were great for each other. Like Ava said, "It was good, but we were phenomenal."
And, of course, Caleb correcting Ava when she was describing the sex as great and him instead preferring fantastic was top notch.
All in all, I had a great time and am looking forward to reading more from this author.

If that had not been introduced in the last 20% of the book this would have been my first DNF ever.
This book was just so bad. The crazy part is I loved her book A Cosmic Kind of Love.
Crying score: please be serious.

the hero was a dick but he was starting to grow on me until that point and after he just became unbearable!! i can deal with cruel mmcs but in this genre it felt weird for him to be so consistently mean with very little grovel. if it was fantasy e2l/dark romance/etc i wouldn’t give a shit but i can’t suspend my disbelief here so i didn’t like it it just ruined the book for me.
to end this on a good note i really loved harper and her friendship with ava (and really enjoyed the writing otherwise) so it’s not all bad!
