Initially when I read the first book I thought it moved fast… that was until I picked up The Last Graduate. I flew through this book in almost record time.
The first novel ends on a cliffhanger and this one picked up right where we left off on the very next sentence. I feel like this book was particularly enjoyable as it moved away from being character driven and moved towards being plot driven. It happened organically in a way that made sense for the series.
Romance definitely becomes a key aspect of this novel especially towards the end. So if you didn’t enjoy the snippets of romance in the first book… stay away from this one or else you might suffer.
The Last Graduate leaves us on an even bigger cliffhanger than the first one so be prepared !! & definitely have tissues close by (you’ll thank me later).
