Meh.
The best thing in this book was the narration by Teddy Hamilton.
This book was all over the place. I enjoyed the first part of this book for sure. But the FMC has some serious confidence issues and a tendency to live out all scenarios in her head and make all decisions for everyone. I read books to escape. This was not my jam.
Killing off Sloane’s fiancé to set up book two was awful and it felt out of place in this story. And the two main characters getting married mere weeks after their best friends’ wedding didn’t happen due to the death was unreal.
I get the idea of trying to write something that feels real but this was just enjoyable to read. I’ve read plenty of books that have felt realistic and were 1000 times better.
I will not be reading the rest of this series.
