This was one of the biggest switch-ups Iโ€™ve ever seen in a book series and as far as characters and relationships goโ€ฆ it was so unexpected and honestly broke my heart a little. And unfortunately for me, I was waiting around for my favorite boys to come back and for them to pick up where we left off but the farther into the story I got, the more apparent it became that it may just be a pipe dream. 

What I didnโ€™t expect was the pure TRAUMA this book was going to inflict on me and on my heart. How could you take them away from me not once but TWICE. I shed some very real tears and that rarely happens for me.

Cecilia

The character development for Cecelia over the course of the book really impressed me. With her age and everything sheโ€™d gone through, she really became a strong, self assured woman and knew her worth. She asked for what she wanted and cut her losses and learned to stand up for herself. 

I canโ€™t wait to see where she ends up, both in life but as a person because it feels like sheโ€™s unstoppable and headed for so many great things. 

Tobias

I still havenโ€™t found the right word for my initial feeling about himโ€ฆ HATE? That feels like the right word. 

In all seriousnessโ€ฆ I really didnโ€™t like his character for the longest time but over time, he really started to pull me in. Iโ€™m still not fully sold on him being โ€œtheโ€ guy but I know thereโ€™s more to come and I cannot wait to see how he comes back from everything thatโ€™s happened.

This book was chaotic, messy and gave me whiplash. It made me giddy and it made me cry. Who wants boring, though?! I love how crazy this story is and how I canโ€™t seem to predict a single thing thatโ€™s going to happen to these characters. I mean, I canโ€™t even clock whoโ€™s going to be villain versus the love interest. Thatโ€™s some real enemies to lovers and I couldnโ€™t be mad at it if I tried.
