i think the thing about these books is that i just adore the cast so much i enjoy reading about whatever happens anyway. i LOVE gigi to death and i looked forward the most to reading her chapters, unfortunately hers were the most short 😞

i hope she and slate meet again!

and i liked reading rohan's pov as well. i like that savannah doesn't have a pov because it keeps her more mysterious. so far, my favorites in this series have been her and gigi. i love both their contrasting personalities. rohan was a lot more interesting to me in this book compared to the first. and i really wanted to like lyra but her and grayson's chapters were the most boring 😞😞 i have to admit though that their relationship is a lot sweeter in this book and feels very genuine and cute. like some moments genuinely made me feel all warm inside. love grayson hawthorne to death but gigi, savannah and rohan are a lot more interesting right now. also, i have to say that plot wise, things do get pretty confusing. idk if it's because i forget things due to the fact i have to wait for long periods of time for the next book to come out but each time they're talking about alice hawthorne or brady's sponsor or eve or whatnot i just have floating question marks above my head. feels like it's a lot at once. and also i can't help but feel that the author is dragging this story a little. i meannn i don't mind because i look forward to reading about my precious gigi again, but it just sort of feels that way. that ending was definitely interesting.

and jamie punching gray? jameson look at me baby this isn't you 🥺🥺 also on an unrelated note, why were there so many implications that savannah and rohan got freaky??? 🤨🤨 like if ur going to edge me like that so often then give me a lil scene jennifer lynn barnes 😛😛

anyway i look forward to the third book!!!
