I was so excited for Gibsie and Claire and they did not disappoint !! I loved every bit of this book but it was so heartbreaking : everything we discover on Gerard’s past, the development of the Dee thing, how we learn that he pretends with everyone, the way they loved each other since they were TODDLERS. 

Also the fact that the timeline was after redeeming 6 was PERFECT i honestly would’ve hate it if it was before or during the first books. 
ANDDD all the Shannon/Johnny moments 🥹🥹🥹 my babies. And the way Joey behaves is insane I love him so much here !! 

Still, it can’t be a 5 ⭐️ because of Lizzie, sorry not sorry, she was unnecessarily mean, nasty, wicked like give the poor boy some rest ??? Why couldn’t she understand ?? Why would she be so horrible towards him ?? God I know what she went through was horrible too but ?? no

This was a hard ending to read, the first half of the book wasn’t as gripping as the other four were, but it really picked up halfway through.

not happy with the ending. it should have gone on further with gibsie and how he learned who he was as a person and how to cope. especially with such detail going into shannon and johnny and joey and aoife. i honestly feel a bit cheated out of what could have been an phenomenal 5 star read. i have never cried like that to a book so i am upset the ending was so rushed

I never thought in a million years that I would be rating a BOTs book less than 5 stars because I genuinely love this story but...
I don't know what to say other than I needed MORE.
This was Claire and Gibsie's book.... but where was the romance? Where was the couple from b13 and k13? The romance and even the spice was all overshadowed by all other events especially Lizzie.
That's not to say that I didn't enjoy the book... I thoroughly enjoyed finally being let in on the truth of Gibsies past and to finally understand. But this was Claire and Gibsie's book... their ROMANCE book and it didn't give that at all.
I loved the writing and the story like always with this series but I definitely wanted to see the pure love between Claire and Gibsie more like we're used to with the other 4 books.
