I loved the messiness of the characters in this book.

However, I just could not fully get behind the pettiness and jealousy surrounding the characters when it came to their decisions and their supposed standing when it came to family and what matters most.

I just felt like it was contradicting AF!

Although I was never expecting a happy ending, I just wanted more development in understanding the hidden feelings between all MCs. I felt like the characters were more led by their negative emotions vs settling things.

I am curious about side characters, like Emiliamo's brothers and the Russians. Would I read any next books? Yes!
