I really don’t know how to rate this tbh because I wasn’t obcessed with/didnt love how most of the first half of the book played out but absolutely loved the second half, probably even more than the first book in this series
Either way, this book was a really fast and quick paced read that kept me invested the whole time and I’m so happy with how it came together and ended :)

What will I do with my life now??? I already miss the Havenforts, Masons, and Demerovens 😭 I generally don't like all the political talk that comes with high society male characters, but I like how progressive the laws they want to pass are. I still don't know what to feel about James, but he has definitely grown. I am not a fan of the third act break up- I felt the heartbreak to the core :( I am happy where the couples have gone and the epilogue just makes me feel all bubbly.
I also like how Gwen and Beth still maintained their characteristics and personalities from the previous book and just how funny they are. There is still a lot of arguments that surround them. All the love in these two families just make me feel so warm and fuzzy 🥰
I think James needs to go to therapy though. He has a lot of trauma he has to deal with. I'll be damned if he hurts Bobby anymore 😤 All the internalized homophobia and blackmailing from Raverson is just sad. Dude is addicted to gambling with the hope of making something for himself. I hope being dunked into the lake cleared his head.
I can't docked points for how frustrated Alban made me get with James, but there were a few grammar and spelling errors that caught my eye.

I really liked this book. It was quite slow for me personally. The chapters were also a bit longer than I would prefer making the book feel even slower. But I loved the banter between the characters and I love that everyone got their happy ending. I don't know if I'd recommend it. But it is a sweet read.
