I really loved having Kenji’s pov in this book and him leading the narrative as the lead protagonist. However, as much as I loved Juliette and Warner’s chapters giving us insights into their past, I would have preferred a little more to happen in this book.
Though I still loved it.
I am so happy that this book got a HEA, after such a dark book, it was definitely needed for the characters!! I just hope that the last book ends nicely too🥺
