Sigh……

Well, that was kind of unsatisfying. Loved the bonus scene, of course, but it’s so open ended. I so badly wanted to know what happened to Gigi and Ronaldo and we got NOTHING. I love love and all that and yay for Gigi getting some but… I need answers. 😩

Also, Ronaldo was almost too similar to Zade. Something felt a little off and recycled there… maybe just too many parallels. 

And it’s not like there wasn’t anything I liked… I actually enjoyed most of this book! The ending is really what ruined it for me. Before that, I liked the forbidden aspects and even the cheating plot… everything was fine. Fine until my dreams of closure were crushed…

I just needed more. Maybe one day we’ll get more answers about what happened to Gigi and Ronaldo.
