I think Winter was a great and necessary addition to the gang, and her point-of-view chapters were consistently engaging and fun to read. Her hallucinations and paranoia could have been handled with a bit more nuance and care. The friends-to-lovers trope was pretty cute, and I especially liked

how Jacin helped Winter through her bad episodes.

  I also enjoyed the way the various plotlines were tied up; it made for a very satisfying ending. 

This book was quite long, though, and I'm not sure the length was justified.
