Can we PLEASE start normalizing writing books from the main male pov? Because this was PERFECTION. 

Ngl, I almost DNFed this series after book two, I finished book two but it was mid imo and Callie was annoying tf out of me. This book redeemed the entire series in my eyes and it was necessary to understand Callie more and the Bargainer and his beginning. 

I loved everything about this book. And will def be finishing up the series with the last book now.

The vibes were immaculate. I loved the mystery/thriller aspect, it was perfectly paired with the romance between the two main characters.

5 freakin stars. - I was skeptical because I was not a fan of the previous book in this serious, but this one blew that one out of the water. 

If you like Heartless, read this book IMMEDIATELY, it had all the same vibes. A single dad, a strong willed woman, and of course SCORCHING chemistry. Teddy and Gus are EVERYTHING and i love them so much. 

That ending though? 😭 I can’t wait for Cam’s book.

Still loving the story overall but this volume was a little strange, more so Kurosawa was strange and Adachi inviting somebody else to sleepover so he doesn’t have to admit his feelings yet, be so fr. But it was cool to see the connection there with somebody else in the manga. I am so happy the confession finally came, though it felt anticlimactic. Still cannot wait to read the next volume though. 🩷

I cannot even begin to describe how distraught I am after that ending. Like wtf?

This book is a masterpiece and I will accept 0 criticism on it ever. At first I am sitting here like “it’s good, but kind of predictable”. Yeah I was wrong, so wrong, so so wrong. 

I went in to this book blind and I believe my experience was even better because of it so I will not be saying too much. Just know, that I loved it and I need book 2 more than I need to breathe. Period. Bye while I stare at a wall now wondering what I did to deserve that insane plot twist at the end.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
0 personality for any of the characters and I could not connect with any of them.
