Make the Season Bright by Ashley Herring Blake

Did not finish book. Stopped at 77%.

I hated the entitlement and gaslighting. Made me so mad I couldn’t finish even as I was more than 75% in…I should’ve stopped long before. Like this author, hate this book!

The characters got so annoying at points! That’s the main reason this wasn’t 4+ stars. Otherwise, another great from the great in my opinion.

It’s a beautiful thing to be able to witness someone using their individual gifts in a way that is clearly part of their purpose in life. Awestruck. Moved. Haunted.
