I’m honestly kinda disappointed in this book. I had such high hopes for this story - I was anticipating an interesting delve into military PTSD, small town poverty and class divides. But the things that made these characters interesting were completely ignored and it was infuriating. Not to mention that the age gap felt borderline illegal given how naive Bailey was the whole time. A really disappointing end to this series. I hope the author takes a bit more time between books going forward because the quality is suffering.
