I would like to say that I enjoyed the book. Truly I did. However, it felt like nothing was happening the entire time. Like when you read fluffy fanfiction because you miss the characters and the main plot is just them living their lives and being in love. That’s kind of what this felt like. I know there were plot points and the story was moving along but none of it really felt like the main focus or that it needed to happen really at all. Did I enjoy reading it? Yes. Will I still recommend this series because I loved tf out of the first two books? Also yes. Just kind disappointing this one (and the last one ngl) fell kind of flat.
