I liked this a lot less than the previous two. A lot of this book was just the road to something and I did not feel that the road was all that interesting or gave the story all that much.
Added to that I really don’t like what the book did with Bam and Risa’s roles in the story. So much of it is within the love entanglements and playing with feelings and boys playing with their feelings. Especially Cam doing everything just so Risa will like him and not because he believes in the cause at all and the rivalry that it creates with Connor was exhausting. It just reduces the girls into love interests even though they are so much more.
