The third book in the ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART trilogy, continuing the story of Evangeline Fox and Jacks the Prince of Hearts.
I read this one in a single day, and had a fantastic time. It wasn’t my favorite in the trilogy (that honor definitely goes to BALLAD, which I ADORED), but it was fun and fast paced and I loved the ending. Evangeline and Jacks definitely have my heart and are taking spots as a favorite fantasy couple for me.
I did feel like some aspects of the ending were a bit rushed (and there were a few answers I wanted and never got) but all in all I HIGHLY recommend this trilogy (though it should be read after CARAVAL) and can’t wait to see what Stephanie Garber writes next!

Did I cry? Yes. Through pretty much the entire thing? Yes. Is almost every page tabbed for one reason or another? Absolutely.
Hugged this book for a while after finishing it. It was fantastic.
Such a beautiful story of hope, second chances, true love, healing, and redemption. Everything I love in a fairytale and more!
