I thoroughly enjoyed this book, just as much as the previous ones! 
 
This one focused more on Tobias’ history which was … interesting, to say the least. 
 
With more new characters being introduced, and old ones being fleshed out more, the relationships between them all started to become more and more complicated - it became hard to keep track at one point. 
 
The highlight for me was that ending though. I actually cannot believe that Avery actually did that!! Even though it kinda fits in with what she’d do, it was completely unexpected! 
 
I’m really looking forward to seeing what the upcoming books bring - I’d like more on how their lives are following the end of this one, but I’d also like to see Tobias bringing up the Hawthorne boys (and the chaos that inevitably comes with them).
