The ending was a redeeming quality and made me want to rate it higher. I loved the book, but some parts were extremely long and repetitive. Sometimes Bryce kept thinking the same things, which I guess is realistic, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of her in this book. I feel like she’s a bit of a hypocrite with disliking “alpha-holes” and associating them only with males, when her personality is very similar. Hunt was kind of dull because he let her walk all over him. She messed up a lot of things and instead of there being character growth, she kept being reckless which was frustrating. I’m trying to be vague, but her entitled personality and her hating that a certain thing occurred made not sense to me and she seemed very dramatic.

There’s childhood trauma mentions throughout the book such as child abuse. There’s also mentions of abuse between the hind too just be wary and this is quite a spicy book too x

I need some time to process this. Holy shit. I’ve never read 700 pages so fast in my life. I have so many questions. My heart, in pieces. My brain, on the wall. My soul, well… 
5 stars. Can’t wait for the next one. SJM if you fumble this as hard as ACOSF I will never recover.

OMG, this thing must have been sent to me from the heavens. I would give up my soul to be able to read this book for the first time again. I just cant really explain it, it drew me in, it kept me interested, waiting for the build up, the problem the everything was done so well Its just amazing I cant believe I have to wait for the third book.

This book should be written in the history books all over the world.
