I have liked the books that I have read in this series so far but this was so bad. First of all, I hate when the girl has to grovel. The past timeline was rushed, the writing didn't flow, the present timeline was worse. The book doesn't actually start until  the 40%  mark. Another thing, what the author was trying to write about was a conservatory not an observatory. An observatory is for space and and conservatory is for plants. A quick google search would have told her that. I feel like she watched "Queen Charlotte" and ran with it.  I did not like Zane and Celeste in this book at all.  They were both toxic and very insecure and jealous. I strongly disliked the relationship. Also at the risk of sounding like a prude, I disliked how much sex was in this. Like...are yall incaple of having a conversation that doesn't allude to sex or ends up with you guys having sex??? I'm sorry but the smut was too much. It was happening every other chapter and sometimes every chapter. I didn't like this book at all.
