While each chapter did keep me wanting more, WTF KIND OF ENDING WAS THAT? or I guess what kind of ending was it not? Who ends a book that way…? I feel like the author just decided to quit writing the book!

This is book 3 of the Unwind series. I’m not sure if I’m being generous with giving this book three stars.

Book 4 of the Unwind Dystology. Well, I have finally finished this series/ dystology. Even though as I’ve mentioned before I did struggle a little through some if the books I can say that it wrapped decently overall. I kind of feel ….. you know, I don’t know what I feel about the way Undivided ended… I have mixed feelings. Am I supposed to be happy? Mad? Upset? Lol I am conflicted. There were some slow parts of undivided, as expected .. but when there were good parts, THERE WERE GOOD PARTS. I don’t regret reading this! I feel with the way the world is right now, it’s very crazy how relatable and important this series is right now. I bet NS had no clue about that when he wrote these years ago!

I finally caved and read this, after TONS of recs for it. However, I was not impressed.This book was a quick and easy read. I didn’t struggle to read it, but they writing style was … basic? Simple? It was very predictable, in my opinion. I will say that I struggled to make the connection between the flashbacks and her present life, until about half way through the book. I enjoyed getting to know Lily and genuinely loved her character. The ending is what saved this book for me, bc YOU GO GIRL!

Okay SOOOOO anywho who knows me knows that I am so fascinated with prisons, executions, true crime etc and that’s why this book caught my eye! Now once I started reading and it mentioned the prisons in huntsville, TX and Livingston, TX i was HOOKED. I automatically knew I was going to finish this- bc I lived in huntsville for 7 years and worked in Livingston at times, I loved that I actually knew the prisons in the story! I geeked a little!

⚠️if you're not a fan of LGBTQ+ books- skip this one !⚠️

Okay, so this being book #2 following Read Between The Lines, was also SUPER cute! I think it could honestly pass as a stand alone book. The chemistry between Grace and Lia was great! I was hoping to see more of Jane and Rosie and see how their relationship developed, but that’s okay. I enjoyed getting to know the entire friend group and also seeing some of the more vulnerable sides of characters. Overall this was very engaging and enjoyable.

Side note: WHAT is happening to me, reading romance!?

SOBBING. What a beautiful story. I laughed, I cried, I cussed, I smiled, I rolled my eyes, I hurt, and I loved. This book had me hooked from the beginning. I was scared to read it because of all the negative reviews I’d seen, but I AM SO GLAD I DID. The story never made me lose interest and I kept wanting to read it! I genuinely looked forward to every chance I got to read more! I wasn’t sure how I was going to like Tate or Miles for that matter, but I slowly grew to love both of them. I could feel his pain, but I was so proud of him for overcoming that. I genuinely thought Tate was going to a be a total b—— the entire time, but as her character developed I grew to like her.
