when i say nothing, i mean absolutely NOTHING could have ever prepared me for the amount of tears i cried while reading this. this took everything and more out of me. it took my tears, my heart, my mental wellbeing. everything. but i will never stop thinking about joey and aoife’s story, and especially joey and how he let aoife and everyone around him down countless times, but to FIGHT for his life quite literally, and get his happy ending. i’m still sobbing.

I feel pretty neutral about this story. It feels very relative to the first books however there is new content at the end of the story but just wish it was new from the start or middle on. I don’t hate it but i wouldn’t say i loved it. I do think the author does amazing research and find the story and events very realistic.

Not much more to add enjoy the authors research found the new story line entertaining but just felt repetitive throughout most of the book just wished more of it was new

I am so in love with this series. Chloe Walsh has found a way to tackle very difficult subject matters and make it palatable for a reader (such as myself). I can not relate to any of the struggles that the characters are dealing with but I feel so much empathy and sympathy for their pain and fears. All the characters have so many differences yet somehow have become a motley crew.As for the Kavanaughs, their love and generosity takes my breath away. I am dying to know Eden’s back story.
I will not be surprised if the series is one day adapted into a movie or mini tv series. It’s so good
