I almost didn’t finish the book at first but after a few chapters I got really into it. I love the wlw romance a lot, but thought the plot ran a bit fast. I would have loved for this book to be longer, it ended quite abruptly and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. It almost felt like this would have been a perfect midpoint through the book, for Carmen’s POV to then start. 

I’m probably going to read the next book, though. It was interesting and I’m definitely invested in what happens next.
