4.5 stars on audio! Thanks to PRH and LibroFM for an early copy. 

I love this series and I think Iris’s story was a great way to wrap it up. Iris and Stevie are so great together and I found their relationship arc, while being silly and a bit unbelievable (hi this is a contemporary romance), was still real and hard fought. 

Stevie’s GAD was written with a lot of care and I felt very seen in her character’s anxiety. She and Iris both had so much to sort through in order to be in a healthy relationship, and I appreciate that we actually got to see that process instead of everything just ~magically working out~ in the very end of the book. 

Also, this book was so gay and I really loved seeing more queer identities represented in the cast of characters, especially compared to books one and two. 

One last thing, this was really hot hahaha.
