This has been the best one in the series so far! The first two books are very slow paced and focus on the relationship building (they’re still addictive even though they’re slow) and then this one picks up speed and has a lot of action! I am excited to see the villain get their comeuppance!

I started this book not knowing anything about it and it somehow knew everything about me. I feel like this author speaks directly to all of the scared, lonely, dreamers in the world. This book is a love story to all the people who are unseen, unloved, and unwanted in the world. I didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did, and I’m so glad I was proven wrong. I feel changed by this novel and I want to applaud the author for her absolute masterpiece.
