5.0

The way that this book was written has made me cry and made me scream and also made me feel like the most powerful bitch on the planet. I don’t know how she changed her writing style so much between book four and this book but this one is my favorite of the series. 

The back story of Ella??? 5 stars 

The “she always comes back to him trope” ??? 5 stars

Kenji’s banter??? 5 Stars 

Every Ella and Aaron Warner moment??? 5 stars

I’ve loved every single second of this book. Constant plot twists and constantly switching my emotions toward the characters. I have such an emotional attachment to Ella and Aaron’s relationship. Ella’s backstory is tragic and I cannot wait to see what happens in the finale of the series. I love these characters so much.
