This took me a while to finish this book it’s so long. Also I feel this is my least favourite out of the whole series. Every other chapter there is always a twist or turn. I felt there were moments in this book where it wasn’t necessary to thrown in there. Something I have been struggling with is new characters and trying to remember if there relevant or not. This was a drag to get through but when you were intrigued with the plot it did draw you in. I would also like to point out the fact that when you meet the male MC in these books there always angry and cranky I want a new angle.

I think this is a good series just this book was tough.

The book was ruined because they spent too much time trying to round out the series (which they did not do well) rather than focusing on Will and Emory. Also the complete 180 with Alex and Aydin was ridiculous.

honestly, i liked this book but 600+ pages was really not necessary. as i expected the flashback chapters were my favorites. high school Will was such a softie, i fking loved him.
i felt that the blackchurch scenes were boring and too long at times.
high school willemmy and damon carried this book <3

“But you’re going to be fucking mine someday,” he growled. “Come hell or high water, Emory Scott. You’re my woman, and you’re going to come home to me every day and sit at my table and warm my fucking bed.” He kissed me. “And you’re going to give me a Will Grayson IV. Mark my words."
“I’d loved Emory since the moment I laid eyes on her when I was fourteen. I could still see her—sitting on her bike outside the chain-link fence surrounding the school parking lot as she watched my friends and me on our skateboards that summer. From that moment on, it seemed I was always aware of her, and everything I did, I did it with it in mind that she was watching.”

I loved this book to bits. Only two complains. One, it was too long. Two, it was too unrealistic and despite enjoying that, I couldn't help but be bugged by it.
