I both liked and hated the ending because
Spoiler
Lara is out and about and got engaged to Mateo's dad?! The hell? But I liked Ivy deciding to go "scorched earth" because that woman should be in jail not only for her involvement with the drugs but also because she's a predatorThe characters were nice but I feel they were the least developed/interesting out of all her books that I've read (which is all of them except for her 2022 release). Or maybe I feel like they were too similar to her other characters maybe? Not sure, but I wasn't as invested in them as some of her previous characters.
The book has it's slow parts but really speeds up towards the end when stuff starts coming together.
