3.0

I listened to the audiobook and it was kind of boring 🤷🏼‍♀️. It didn’t really leave much of an impression, and not much really happened after their ‘big secrets’ were revealed pretty early on. It’s not like they were doing much themselves to figure out what happened either, just stupid relationship drama and getting their lawyers to deal with stuff. If I was actually reading it instead of listening at x2 speed in the car I probably wouldn’t have finished it. Don’t think I really care enough to read the rest of the series, even though it wasn’t necessarily bad.
