Loved this book cannot wait to read the next one in the series. The twists the turns the mystery of it all

I was a little sad that Avery isn’t Toby’s daughter but at least he still came and thinks of her like his daughter

and we finally get a decision on how’s the love interest at least for know

i can’t tell if I’m upset that it’s Jamie or not like I like Gray but also Jamie is good for her, I can’t decide

3.5

The beggining and the middle were pretty good, if you ignore that

if Toby was Avery's dad, Jameson would be her cousin.

The end felt a bit rushed and I didn't like that

Mellie's plot twist came with basically no foreshaddowing

.

I didn't really why Avery's mom got with Rick and had get if she din't really like him and made a point of not getting with anyone else since she was in love with Toby. Why make Ricky, of all people, an exception? I also didn't like when Toby called Avery his daughter but treated her so differently from Eve.

4.0

love that the stakes are high, the mystery is intense, and the relationships are messy, just like the first book. i ADORED that max finally appeared in person, i love her to pieces. the mystery itself is sliightly less exciting than in the first novel, just bc birth and family secrets are more typical drama than the original mystery of leaving a random girl a fortune, but i was still wholly engaged the entire time and i was right and wrong about things! i was SHOCKED by some things! i devoured this book in one go and i have no idea what could possibly be waiting in the last book, considering the end of this one felt kinda wrapped up, but with it only having been like two months since avery got her fortune it is still the beginning for her so im looking forward to reading the last book~
