Cal was my favourite brother in books 1 and 2 and I really thought for the first 300 pages that he had been done dirty in this book!
Up to page 300, the plot felt lacking, the ex and town were insufferable and it was making me dislike the book. Glad I pushed through to the end as I enjoyed Cal’s character development/ redemption and how well addiction was represented. The book also rounded off the series well.
Cami and Cal probably ended up being my two favourite characters of the book.

"can a book be both your favorite and least favorite at the same time?"
so. yeah.
cal, our mmc, had some struggles that hit a little close home for me. as someone who, in the past, consistently felt like someone else's addiction was more important than me, and felt pushed aside with regularity because of it, this book was hard to read at times. but cal pushing through it and recognizing his behavior, and working on his relationships with his family and our girl lana made it a fun read too. lana, our badass fmc, keep me in it and rooting for them.
we've got second chance romance, forced proximity, single mom, and enemies to lovers.
per my spreadsheet:
spice 🌶 - a 4 🌶 spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 4 days
did it make me cry? - oh just about. i think i was a lil enraged during the times i would normally cry lol
