this is such a big improvement from the first 3 books. it helped that we didn’t meet the fmc in the earlier books & she wasn’t hinted at before we got to this book bc that usually takes a lot of the fun out for me with interconnected standalones - i hate anything being spoiled and it feels like one big spoiler. we saw a lot of santiago before redeemed so we can really appreciate the change in him in a way that would be harder for us to conceptualise had we not known him 3 books ago!

also this is probably a me issue but the message of this book felt very “yeah life sucks but stop acknowledging how much it sucks and get over it already” and i hate that in otherwise lighthearted books i didn’t come here for a lecture😭

Noah is so romantic he’ll make you swoon. The only compliant I have is about the third act conflict, you know the one that leads to the reconciliation at the end. Yeah Chloe pissed me off so badly it messed me up for a couple chapters.
