⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️(with description)

What I liked:
  • I enjoyed seeing Donnelly and Lo. I genuinely love their relationship.
  • Some parts felt like a soap opera, but I was here for it.  
  • The character development was complex and engaging.  
  • I loved seeing Donnelly and Xander make up and become best buds again.  

What I didn’t like:
  • Ripley didn’t feel realistic; two-year-olds don’t talk like that.  
  • As usual, I didn’t like Sulli. She keeps bad-mouthing her family. It’s okay to dislike family, but you don’t have to say hurtful, hateful things about them.  
  • Kinney was also annoying. She seriously needs to learn some respect and manners.  
  • The amnesia plot was awful. It dragged on for way too long and didn’t need to be such a big part of the book. Also, the way Luna talked about herself in the third person felt silly.  

This series has its flaws, but despite them, I’m glad I got to experience it. The relationships between Luna and Donnelly, Donnelly and Farrow, and Lo and Donnelly were satisfying to see unfold.
