3 is being generous. It's more like 2.5.
I just didn't understand the author's thinking sometimes.
First of all, the book picks up a few weeks after Ty and Ara's drunken hookup. So the reader is immediately playing catch up as to what's going on and missed the event that drives all of the events after it.
Now I didn't read the first 3 books in this series so maybe there were details in those that would have filled some holes for me, but, though past events were often referenced, they were never fully explained! Which drove me crazy. Eventually, sometimes, I was able to piece together the details of an earlier event from all of the different references, but I don't think this book was supposed to feel like a puzzle I had to assemble. I even downloaded the earlier books and tried to do search's for Ty or Ara to find references that would have shed some light on things.
And this weird glossing over of details wasn't limited to past events. When you have a dual POV you expect to be included when big events happen to either person. But we weren't. When
On top of this the writing was also unclear at times and I would have to reread certain paragraphs more than once. And don't get me started on the twin test.
