Sweet, cute, and I’m glad there was less of a dramatic third act breakup here. This also had the least F1 reference, so there was none of the distraction from past books in this series.

"Most of all, loving you is realizing heaven is not a place, but a person. [--]
I love you, Chloe. And it's okay if you don't know what it means to be loved by someone, let alone to love someone else, because I promise to love you enough for the two of us, to love you every day to make up for everyone else who failed miserably."

– Santiago to Chloe

3.0

this is such a big improvement from the first 3 books. it helped that we didn’t meet the fmc in the earlier books & she wasn’t hinted at before we got to this book bc that usually takes a lot of the fun out for me with interconnected standalones - i hate anything being spoiled and it feels like one big spoiler. we saw a lot of santiago before redeemed so we can really appreciate the change in him in a way that would be harder for us to conceptualise had we not known him 3 books ago!

also this is probably a me issue but the message of this book felt very “yeah life sucks but stop acknowledging how much it sucks and get over it already” and i hate that in otherwise lighthearted books i didn’t come here for a lecture😭
