I enjoyed this a lot more than the last Samantha Young book I read, although communication issues are definitely still a central part of the conflict between the leads. Still, I enjoyed the characters in this one a lot and I think I'll be continuing to read in the series!

Another homerun by Samantha Young. My god, my eyes are swollen from having cried so much. Adairs and now even their friends just cannot catch a break huh? This book was so intense and eventful that I didn't wanna put it down for a second (I had to for a while due to my eyes hurting too much from crying 😅)
I want to live in Ardnoch so bad it's not even funny! And I have never in my life wanted to live anywhere but my home country so that says something real
Also I totally called way back in Only You that Aria would have a book about her soon 😁 I'm just gonna put it right here that I think Hayden Barr is gonna have a book about him before this series ends!
Ahhh I'm just soso emotional right now. Thank you, Samantha Young, for making it even harder with every new book to pick my favourite book 😁
