I was provided an ARC copy and this is my honest review.

God this book felt long. At almost 600 pages, not much happened. Yes, we see the relationship progress for almost a year, but so many scenes felt like filler and could have been cut.

There were a few continuity issues throughout this book too. And a couple of questionable phrasing choices (not sure fuckt**d is okay to use these days)

Caleb was a great character and I genuinely loved watching his journey through this book. The third act breakup from his perspective genuinely hurt my heart.

Rosie on the other hand? By the end of the book I was over her and skipping through her chapters. I am genuinely baffled by her decision to not tell a single person about her 'duties', considering she has been friends with Addy and Casey for so long. I understand needing to be the strong friend (hi, it's me) but there was literally no need for her to keep this to herself expect to be a plot point.

I felt a little deflated after reading this, because I was so excited after book 1 and 2, but this one felt like a miss for me.
