My heart. The way I love this series and the characters so much! It’s crazy to me that I contemplated not continuing after finishing book 1. The series evolves and grows so much depth! 

The best part is now I can finally look up all the things and won’t be spoiled 🤘 

If you’ve debated reading these OR struggled after book 1, I recommend giving it a second try!

This book is HEAVY at times, check your trigger warnings on this one if needed, people. Even with that being said, I loved this book so so so much! An author who can make me gasp, cry, laugh, and not shut up about the story is a favorite author! The characters and story are just so so so good!
