💗 check trigger warnings 💗

- enemies to lovers & slowburn romance 
- soft boi male lead & a badass confident female lead 
- anxiety rep (which i 100% relate to) 
- diverse & complex characters
- the overall story and how it developed?? YES

what more could u want 😭

*The reason why this isn't a 5-star read is just a personal thing. I took too long reading it and stopped at a crucial part in the book, which kind of ruined the buildup.

A great conclusion to this duology. I loved all the confrontation of trauma. I just wish that the series had the narrator in both books. The tone it set was great, but was different than book one.

How is this book going to be this good, then go and have that ending. <Not even ending up together?! Hypothetically ending up together, over a decade later, in the epilogue, is not what we (me or Malik/Karina) deserve after EVERYTHING.> But yeah the rest was amazing and I loved it.

Personally just hated thr ending. Left feeling unfulfilled. After two whole books and all this built up soul-mates and destiny, they only end up together *hypothetically* in the monologue. Why. WHY?! That is some bullshit. And fade to black... AFTER ALL OF THIS. no. Everything else was amazing. Malik and Karina are amazing.
