Thank you to Stef C.R. and My Universe PR for the ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This one took me too long to finish, but that does not speak anything about the story! I loved Eli and Ash’s story. I was obsessed with Ash’s character in the first book, and I knew he would always be my favorite character. 

Miscommunication is not my favorite trope, and this is a lot of miscommunication. I LOVED the pining, the slow burns of parts of this. I didn’t love the dual timeline in this. I was a little confused at certain parts and couldn’t figure out which part was ahead of the other. I do think this is part of user error though! 

Overall, a solid book in the series. We also really previewed Jordan and Alice in this one, and I think I may be Alice in another life?!
