4.75
Honestly I’d probably say I give it 4.75 stars. HEAVILY biased because of “Chase Brannan.” 😂 I think I was always classically conditioned to love him due to the closeness to my husband’s name.
ANYway, I only docked that teeny bit because I found some of Chase and Bee’s conversations to be repetitive, and there was a little stint in the middle where I thought the pacing was too slow. Maybe I’m being a hard ass about the repetitive stuff, because both of them probably needed reassurance. We all know the road was a bumpy one!
Other than that, I’d have given it 5 stars! I loved Chase’s personality, I guess in my head I didn’t know he’d be like THE biggest softie of all of the guys! 😂 I was pleasantly surprised by that. Maybe a little more than usual with this series, I found myself choked up at a lot of the found family bits; the part at the end reminded me how much I really loved all the characters and going on their journeys with them! I’m honestly a little sad it’s over! Anyway, loved it. And I think we can all agree about this relationship…FINALLY!
