……. :)

I finished this while I was at work and was :O. THE ENDING? HELLO?

I really am getting so wrapped up in this series that it is stressing me tf out. It's another one where when I'm not reading it, I am thinking about it. Unbelievable.

Kash and Bailey are back with even more drama. Being Peter's daughter has introduced her to a whole new life and when she tries to stay somewhat invisible in grad school, other people can't just let her be. Determined to hold her head high, she ignores it until she can't anymore which just so happens when a few problems come forward. She's found her support system but things are strained and Bailey's defence mechanism is avoidance. The only person she can face is Kash but even with him, she isn't being honest. Which is fine because he isn't either.

This book is filled with frustration in so many ways. All these characters have so much crap going on it is actually insane. Bailey needs therapy. ACCCCCTUALLY, they all need therapy. Like... badly. Non-negotiable therapy. I just need the communication to increase by a WHOOOOLE bunch because they are not talking and everyone desperately needs to talk to everyone. This is the one thing that is KINDA annoying but I am about to read book 3 and am hoping there is a reason for being so tight-lipped.

The end of this book is fucking RUDE though dude. I WAS SO ANXIOUS AND THEN I READ WHAT HAPPENS? I'M NOT OKAY. ESPECIALLY AFTER THE FAMILY VACATION. NO. N o. I will not get over that.
