The second part of this series has left me beyond distraught. I'm beginning to think I'm as much of a masochist as the main characters.

The amount of back and forth pull Kate Stewart is able to believably place between these relationships kept me reeling, frantically turning pages. 

At no point did I anticipate what would happen next. I have never enjoyed suspense nor the roller coaster of emotions I experienced before this journey. 

I have laughed, glared, and cried. I have been frustrated, thankful, and heartbroken.

Now onto the third!

Let me just say that this series (so far) has wrecked me. While I feel so sad for Dom, I freaking love Sean and I just wish we had more Sean content 😭😭 the first time I’ve ever loved the blonde sunshine boy but goddamn do I love him. This would be a 5 star if I didn’t hate Tobias so much, I fell in love with Sean and Dom so quickly and easily, Tobias just felt very forced and I wish we would’ve gotten more from the boys. 
But overall, I really did enjoy this book. The ending was definitely rushed and seemed kind of thrown together,

I was definitely okay with them not being together. I loved that Cecelia finally gave herself permission to move on, and honestly I’m kinda bummed it didn’t stay that way. Probably would’ve gotten more stars if it did.
