Underwhelmed and disappointed...
I thought it would get better after the second book which I didn't enjoy as much as the first book but my god what is this.....
The characters are so annoying in here except for xander sometimes unless he is having any kind of interaction with Max then he's just as insufferable as the rest.

that whole "thats my woman not in a patriarchal way" line will have me cringing till the end of times

 
Avery is so whiny, Jamesons personality from the first book was literally thrown out of the window and now he too is annoying as hell
and Grayson.....my god Grayson's character was absolutely DEMOLISHED with this book.

I dont even care who Avery ends with I dont even like her ever since the hawthorne legacy and didnt want her to end with Grayson anyway because he deserves better but to ruin his character this bad is honestly unforgivable.
The romance between avery and jameson was so forced and cringy I don't think I even believe in love anymore

The plot doesn't help either: it becomes so convulated with extremely unimpressive riddles, plot twists you could predict from page 1 and the most boring angst and cringe dialogue between these insufferable characters.

The ending with the chess game was so dumb my god..Blake's character was basically a comical villain how is anyone taking this seriously
idc if avery gave most of her fortune away but the charity name 😭 as if all of this wasn't cringy enough she chose the WORST name for her stupid charity
im not even gonna go into having Grayson drop out of harvard I am pissed enough for what jlb did with his character and if i talk anymore ill be mad

tldr: this book does not exist. do not read it.
