I hadn't originally wanted to read this book because ... cheating. But then I did read it and I'm so glad I did because, wow, that was intense! There's no other way to say it.
Even though I could have done without some of the repetitions, it was an awesome read.

So basically I knew about this book when I started reading the series, and I‘ve kind of been dreading it ever since. Today, I seriously debated putting it off a little longer, but it felt like it was time. And I‘m glad I took the chance.
I realized when reading it what I was dreading most was reading about Truman cheating. I think it would have been a lot harder to bear if that had been more drawn out and detailed than it was. But as it is, it was a great book about how to deal with cheating in a relationship. It takes a lot of talking, and a lot of honesty, and it was exhausting to read about. I loved how we got their different perspectives on scenes- I honestly don’t see how they would feel repetitive, considering the point is in the small differences. It‘s a great conclusion to this series, which always took a lot out of me in the best of ways - it repeatedly challenged my views on relationships and probably spoiled me for most of the conventional romance novels. Will, Hugh and Truman and their extended family have become very dear to me, and I am grateful there is more from this universe to read. I highly recommend giving this series a try if kink doesn’t scare you off. There is, admittedly, quite a lot of that, but again, so well done I’m afraid Kris Ripper has ruined me for most other writers.

Thoughts while reading:
-I’m REALLY not a fan of rehashing the same conversation between different points of view, that’s too repetitive and boring

God. This series is the most fascinating character study. They feel so real. Their love and pain is so real. My heart. I am still going to read the last New Year book, but I am going to miss these characters so. damn. much. ❤️
I was so scared to read this one, all the others were so happy and wonderful, so I thought about putting it off. But im glad I didn't, I love them so much.

Ermahgerd, this book!
Look, I'm not gonna lie. I was gutted when I found out what this book would be about. Hugh and Truman, along with my darling boy, Will Derrie, are #relationshipgoals. It felt like nothing could ever come between them. Trust Ripper, then, to pull our hearts out with something so unbelievable that it could ruin one of my favourite #relationshipgoals throuple causing me to actual cry while reading their story.
This was hard to read in parts, but I had every confidence those wonderful men would find their way through this heartache and not only end up back in each other's arms, but back even better than before. Amazing.
If you haven't read this series yet, don't wait another minute. You won't regret any time spent in this fabulous world Ripper has created. I'll just be sitting here completely jealous that you get to read it for the first time.
Highly recommend

Loved the story, the emotions, and the character growth. It left me wanting so much more and with unanswered questions a.
