This book has been on my tbr since last year because I wanted to read the physical copy and annotate. I expected it to be a 5  ⭐️  but I’m kinda disappointed. For starters I’d like to say I loved Grace but I kinda hated Matt he was honestly such a bitch and got on my nerves towards the end. He apparently had so much love for Grace but I couldn’t see that until like 60 pages away from the ending..

There we definitely times where I thought I didn’t know if I could keep reading this book but in the end I finished proud and strong. I haven’t see a lot of authors do well with writing a diverse cast but this author did exceptionally well and I loved the twist and turns. If I was in Evies position I would definitely struggle and I liked how I got a lesson out of this book in the end .

I love love love this series. I stumbled onto it and I wasn’t quite sure if I like it after the second book but as I went on I fell in love with the characters and the twists and turns all throughout this book.
