This was my least favorite book in the series. I loved Mure and all the residence but I do not like Joel and Flora together. They are a toxic couple who don't know how to communicate. Joel is a grade-A jerkwad who uses his childhood trauma as an excuse for his behavior. Guess what buddy? We all have trauma! You're an adult time to get it together. Flora is too good for him. The real ones know that Charli and Flora would have made a superior couple. Also, WTF killing off the best character was uncalled for! Colton had the most character development out of anyone and what does get for it? A slow and painful death. Ridiculous!!! I dedicate 3 days of my life to reading this series and this is the thanks I get. \
