Finally picked this up to finish off the series…and it’s my least favorite. I don’t know if there was some spark missing from the main couple or if I just didn’t like them together or if I was a bit overwhelmed by the other storylines going on. It felt less like their book than everyone’s.
Toby was kind of just a simp for Bel after he got over his revenge plan but he couldn’t commit to the one thing she wanted from him until something happened with his mentor. And Isabel wasn’t how I thought she’d be, she was like the complete opposite which I don’t think tempered out with Toby’s personality. And she was always going on about morals and doing the right thing and kind of shaming him for just doing something to please himself or her cause there are others out there that need things more than them. Like I’m sorry, he wanted to get you some ice cream cause it’s a sweet little treat and you’d never had it but you refused cause the sugar may have come from a place with slave labor but you don’t even know for sure. He was sweet though and ended up finding an alternative to the sugar problem but like why’d she have to turn everything around on him.
I was obsessed when Lucy was on the page though cause her book was my favorite.
