I wasn't completely sold on this book until about the halfway point, and now I can't wait to continue the series.
It's funny, because at the start I didn't think I'd grow to love the characters, but they somehow snuck up on me when I least expected it. And apparently, this isn't the first time Carly's showed up in a book? Guess I'll have to check out whatever series she appeared in previously as well.
The storyline took a while to get going, so it was definitely a slow burn, and it kept me guessing until the very end. I didn't figure out who the bad guy was until he was right in front of Carly.
While I loved Wyatt, my favourite relationship in the book was actually Hank and Carly's. Hank's been through so much, by the looks of things so has Carly, and the way she stepped up to take care of him (view spoiler) was so precious.
I also loved the found family aspect, the romance, and the setting. The narration was pretty good too, so I guess I'll continue with the audiobooks. This one is/was available on Hoopla as a bonus borrow, but the rest of the series isn't, so I'll have to jump into Everand again which is future Milica's problem ahem ahem.
Anyway, I'll try not to pause this series for too long, because I'm working on finishing series I started previously, so it would be nice to finish this one as well.
