Okaaaaay, first off, I was waaaay more invested in the romance and family drama in Chris's life than the obvious other big things. I hated Lily, well maybe not hated, but there were moments. Not because she's a bad character, I think she's an interesting character, but because she was getting in the way of my ship: Kelsey x Chris. We got some AMAZINGLY cute moments between them in Gravestone and I WAS HERE FOR IT. When I saw where things were going with Lily, I hated it. The way I saw it, Chris didn't need to be interested in another girl.
I was actually so surprised at the plot twist involving Lily. I legit didn't see it coming and made their relationship make more sense.
Kelsey is such an awesome character. She's so good, she's a good match for Chris, she is best girl, and Imma gonna come out and say it: She's better than Jocelyn. Jocelyn and Chris's relationship was rushed in my opinion. I was never really on board with it, and tbh, I didn't really feel much when she died. I don't know.
I hope things go my way romantically in the series. If it doesn't, I'll get over it. But Kelsey and Chris will always be one of the cutest relationships in my mind.

I think I should've read this book alone, where I could concentrate on it more. But I didn't because I didn't really have a place where I could read it privately and I couldn't wait for a proper time to read it.
This book is a 5-star book. But for me personally it didn't really have an impact. Maybe in the future it will, but now it just feels like another book that I read for amusement, but this book is more than that. I'm not saying that I didn't completely get anything out of it. I do think this book will stay with me, but not as much as I wanted it to.
There were some explicit scenes that I wasn't comfortable with, mostly because I'm not used to reading stuff like that. Someday I will read it again.
