This book, just the like the four others in the series, was amazing. It took a minute to get into but when you did it was so good, I couldn’t put it down. 
But that being said, this is the worst book in the series. It took me the longest to read and that was mostly because of pacing issues. This book is a lot slower than the others. There is also three point of views so it gets very confusing at parts. 

But my favourite part of this book was learning about Juliette’s backstory. This was so interesting and done in such a good way. It was one of the best things this book did. And it even made me like Juliette/Ella better.

In conclusion, 
Other than a few problems this book was amazing. I would recommend.
4.25/5⭐️
