I wanted to like this book.
It had all the drama and betrayal that I like in my books lately but this book was not it.
I get that I’m coming in at book 3 but there was way too much focus on the other couples and their life’s which I could probably get over if it wasn’t repeated every single time another person popped up.
How many different times do I have hear about Anchor and Ginger or her sister and Axel.
The history is repeated and repeated.
Also I feel like everything is repeated over and over again. Every second chapter she’s talking about how he betrayed her but every time it’s almost the exact same words. I literally skim read the last couple of chapters and saw repeats.
