Great ending of this trilogy. Everything made sense to me and I keep to my opinion that Pippa’s anxiety and ptss is really well done.

I am going to need to process this book because holy shit I think it has been a while since I have read such a good book. 
I love the setting, I love the plots, I love the characters. It’s just so good??? I am very looking forward to read the second book in this trilogy.

Character wise a lot of interesting stuff happened in this book. I really like the turn Pippa is making and am very much invested in how her character will further develop in the third book. Her having ptss really adds to the character. 

Plot wise it wasn’t too special. A bit boring even if Im very honest.

I liked this book. I listened to it and I love how they did the phone conversations and everything. It was a fun experience. 
Is it one of the best or life changing books I’ve ever read? No. Definitely not. But that’s okay.

I would recommend this to others when I think it fits their reading style.

I did enjoy this book. Im not really sure what to say about it except that I think it’s an important book in bisexual representation. It was interesting to read.

I notice I really want to like these books, but somehow something is going on which prevents me from actually falling for them.
