I am so gutted this series is over. I want to read about these characters forever.
I went into A False Start thinking no characters could beat Mira and Stefan but Nadia and Griffin sure did put up a fight. This story broke my heart and healed my heart. Was I ridiculously frustrated in places because how dare anyone tell a young woman what is or isn’t right for her? Absolutely. Did I completely understand why this tale had to take the paths it did? Absolutely.
My only criticism is that I think the book could have been a bit more concise, but, then again, I’d also happily read about these two forever soooo… who am I?
