Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The plot of this book was not as ridiculous as The Hawthorne Legacy (no island gangs and exploding helicopters in this one), but it still felt like Lynn Barnes was pulling random problems and solutions out of nowhere. Overall, it just felt too wacky, wild, and disconnected to be considered even remotely realistic.

⁕SPOILER: I'm glad this book finally addressed how cruel and unsympathetic Grandaddy Hawthorne was.

⁕ SPOILER: Controversial opinion: this book canonically does not ship Greyson and Avery and I am so GLAD of it. While Avery's relationship with Jameson is a little underbaked for my liking, at least she ends up with boy who wants to protect, grow with, and work to be a better person with her. I LOVE that this books says "screw the automatic default to the tall, dark, broody one; we're being healthy in our relationships!".
