I am in love with this book. The characters felt as though I knew them. The story was captivating from start to finish. I laughed so much throughout this story. I honestly laughed till I started crying, and laughed till I was chocking on damn air.

The fact that this has such dark themes and content and I was still about to laugh and it feels natural was amazing. I'm so upset this book just came out because THAT ENDING... I need the next book ASAP!

I truly love this story. I’ve read it multiple times and each time I love it a little more. Which is crazy because it was a 5 star read for me the first time. This has become a comfort book to me. I think everyone should read it at least once.

It was fantastic getting to know characters that I hadn’t known very well. It’s a great story. However compared to the other books in this series this book fell short. It is still worth reading. I just didn’t enjoy it anywhere near how much I did the other books.
