Wow. Wow. Wow. 

I'm honestly struggling to form words. I wish I could bottle this book up and drink it whenever I'm sad. I want to force all my friends to read this book. I want MORE from this series and author!!!

I loved everything about this book. Celeste and Magnus... their relationship is so complex and emotional. I appreciated that even though this book is *technically* a second chance romance, their backstory is lightly discussed aside from where they went wrong. Celeste and Magnus are so seductive whenever they're together, even beyond a sexual meaning they're so alluring. Any scene with Celeste and Magnus doing literally anything? I'm hooked and reading for the next hour. 

The found family dynamics in this book were amazing. I love the journal entries and watching the group (but especially Celeste) grief for Doris. The thievery in this book was just realistic enough to be believable, but just unrealistic enough for it to be fun to read. It felt like I was watching Oceans 8. 

The only thing I would change about this book is for it to be longer, maybe another trip for a clue would have been nice. 

Beatrice and Santiago, oh I absolutely need more of them.
