4.0

I actually think that this is the worst book Sara and ever written. It felt like a set up for the next book.  I was disappointed the first time I read it and I just finished my second re read, in preparation for HOFAS and I was honestly equally disappointed. There are parts of this book that are so beautiful, and well thought out and interesting and well written. But it is almost completely overshadowed by the
CONSTANT sex scenes, like to the point where I feel like it takes away from the characters, story and even romance of the book. I LOVED Nedra’s redemption arc and I loved seeing how she grew as a person and I related to her so strongly but there were several points where I was reading this and I found myself taken out of the story because the constant sex was like not even believable.  The first three (okay four if you count ACOFAS) I loved, literally ate them up my actual favorite series. But it almost feels like this ones ruins those to a certain extent.  I really hope that the next book in this series is written more similarly to the first half of the series, (with some of the beautiful writing of overcoming the things that you have been through, and depression from this book.)
