This book wasn't my absolute favorite by Elsie, but I think that this series will still be fun to read through. Vaughn was just not my favorite mmc, and Billie was cool (but she felt off in the 2nd half of the book, like a different person).
I think the 3rd act breakup was just... annoying I guess. I think if the book was longer, there would've been more time to realistically build the characters' relationship up. I just didn't feel like we had enough scenes of them together (especially any with a lot of tension) to believe their relationship was real. Like, yeah, they had sex, they argued, blah blah blah; but, I didn't feel like they actually had any reason to like each other more than they would a different random person?
I think reading Chestnut Springs before this series wasn't a great idea, but regardless I did have fun reading the book and will continue on with the series. (I'm interested to see Stefan's character arc and redemption!!)
