I really enjoyed it! Loved the audiobook and really liked the characters. The ending felt a bit rushed but I still really like Emma and Justin's love story!

If you have any parental trauma or abandonment trauma I would be very careful before deciding to read the book. I loved the book but it was really hard as someone with PTSD to read. If I would’ve known I would go back and choose to not read it.

I thought this story was really interesting. It kept me reading and the characters felt pretty realistic. I think what made this book stand out to me was the tie-in from the previous books since I was not expecting it but loved it.

This was a roller coaster of a read. The romance was so sweet (Justin is a unicorn I think) and the family and friendship relationships were so beautifully expressed. There was a lot more trauma than I was expecting and it gets dark a few times so take care if you could be triggered by that. I listened to the audiobook and the narrators were great.
