After enjoying the show... not so much Belly but all the other characters, I've listened to this full trilogy to see where it went. Unfortunately the characters become more unlikeable with each book. I found myself rooting for no one in the end and I felt if the characters could've reached their arc and realisation of their BS much sooner than the LAST chapter of the LAST book it would've been a more compelling listen. Glad I left this for the audible free credit book. Belly's refusal to learn or grow and remain obtuse is infuriating and some of the characters choices felt out of character from what we've learned in previous books. Their choices were just there to pivot our feelings to how the book ended without regard to whether this is truly how a character would act.
