I liked this one better than the first two. It was a good series end. Graysons character was ruined...

wow. Grāmata tiešām mani patīkami pārsteidza negaidīju kaut ko tādu. Grāmata ir smaga - brāļa slimība, paātrināta izaugšana u.c. Negaidīju stāstā iesaistītu mistiku un paranormālo. Bija skaisti

Oh wow I loved this book. Rina and Prem were just fantastic couple, and their BANTER!!! 
Books pacing was fast, Rinas aunties were probably my favorite part about this book, they were just unhinged. 
Kareena was such an amazing character, she was sassy, held her own ground. And was such a hopeless romantic. 
For some people I can see Kareena being very indecisive. 
I didn't like Charlie (ifykyk).

I liked this book a lot more then the ''Good girl complex''.  Genevieve was a such a good fmc. It was a second chance book.

I didnt like the third act breakup in this book. It also happened it the first book of the series, not a huge fan of it. Also the weird love triangle thing wasnt my favorite thing

 
But overall it was good, lighthearted book, feel good nothing over the top.

BookTok hyped this book up and it was deserved. It definitely lived up to my expectations. Evelyn's story was very catching it grabs you, Evelyn is not a good person and we see that she makes bad and stupid decisions, but they are made with a reason. 
This is one of the books that will make you cry, be angry, be confused, sometimes even hate, also love and be happy for the characters all through out the book.

-read in latvian-
I tought that I will love this book based on the summary, but it was average. 
+ 
I really liked the writing style it was easy to read and also fast. 
-
So minor

I still don't understand why they had to be brother and sister, it was just weird. They could just have been not related and it could have been a thousand times better.(technically they were not blood releated, but still weird).

 
It was average nothing surprising.

Amazing book on grief. We see the main character Julie going through this tough time in her life, and how she deals with it. And eventually gets better.

Grāmata koncepts un atrisinājums tiešām mani pārsteidza. No grāmatas domāju sagaidīt kaut ko savādāku, taču tā mani patīkami pārsteidza. Nodaļas ir īsas un aizraujošas, tādēļ tam ir viegli tikt cauri. Autore uzbur interesantu un spraigu pasauli, kurā galvenā varone Diāna meklē atbildes, un cenšas saprast kas ir pareizs, kas nē. Tomēr grāmatas beigās lika man vēlēties grāmatu lidināt pari istabai, jo tās beigas vienkārši tā nedrīkstēja!!
