This was a 5 star for me 70% of the way through, then, unfortunately, dropped a bit. Still quite enjoyable overall, and I will continue to read the series, but I think I’m just tired of the trope involving

a deadbeat parent that the otherwise sensible character let’s completely walk all over them.  Darcy knows her mom’s a complete idiot, yet she proceeds to let her mom get in her head and dictate the events of the last 30% of the book. It is just frustrating and seems inconsistent with the character the reader spent the rest of the book enjoying getting to know.
