This book was so good! I know that Emmy is supposed to be this unlikeable FMC/anti-heroine but I honestly loved her. She was tough and fierce and sharp in the best way. She’s a real tough kid and can handle her shit. Liam is exactly what Emmy needed. His softness balanced her out. His patience was hot af he knew what he wanted and how to support her to get there. Liam really saw Emmy for who she was and loved her because of it not in spite of it. I loved seeing Emmy break down those walls after finally having someone in her court. I recommend this book for fans of “unlikeable FMCs” like Reckless by Elsie Silver or Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I am very excited for the next one in this series.
