Very heavy on mystery & twisting the story. Also teenage romance that makes everything needlessly complicated.

Loved this book cannot wait to read the next one in the series. The twists the turns the mystery of it all

I was a little sad that Avery isn’t Toby’s daughter but at least he still came and thinks of her like his daughter

and we finally get a decision on how’s the love interest at least for know

i can’t tell if I’m upset that it’s Jamie or not like I like Gray but also Jamie is good for her, I can’t decide

It was packed with more mystery and always had to insert a twist than the normal plot twists in history. Many side characters were introduced, and the characters from book 1 stayed true to their personalities. Although there's the frustration of the heroine's confusions and doubts, it showed readers that everything is not as it seems. This was good enough as a duology, but knowing it still has another installment is not so bad as well.

The beggining and the middle were pretty good, if you ignore that

if Toby was Avery's dad, Jameson would be her cousin.

The end felt a bit rushed and I didn't like that

Mellie's plot twist came with basically no foreshaddowing

.

I didn't really why Avery's mom got with Rick and had get if she din't really like him and made a point of not getting with anyone else since she was in love with Toby. Why make Ricky, of all people, an exception? I also didn't like when Toby called Avery his daughter but treated her so differently from Eve.
