Such an emotional ride. A good chunk of this book is just PAIN but there are some lighthearted moments to get me through. I just wanted to hug everyone and let them be happy. I went from raging to crying to laughing to gasping. I can’t wait for the next one.

Shiiiiiitttt. This series is like that awful, guilty pleasure TV show you like, that you don't really know why you keep watching but you have to keep going. Like how I used to watch Degrassi in my 20s. 

Anyway, this book had too many POVs. Some were only 2 pages long?? Not necessary. 

Some shit happened I didn't enjoy at all but I'm gonna focus on the good. 

</spoiler
Tory and Darius! F*ck yes! I hope I don't regret this hope building up inside of me. 

Darcy and Orion, thank f*ck! I was gonna be more than pissed if Darcy kept behaving that way toward Orio. 

And until this book I was 100% still a Seth hater, but he really redeemed himself here. And him being with Caleb would honestly be amazing. 

Geraldine! Her whole family is amazing!

But, let me backtrack to the best f*cking part of this damned book.... Darius and *Mildred* in the suite after the wedding.
I choked on my coffee.

4.25

4.25 out of 5 ☆’s.

“It was time for the King and his army to fall. And the Vega Queens to rise.”

ੈ✩‧₊˚

To quote The Script: “I’m still alive, but I’m barely breathing.”

If I’m being honest — I don’t know if I have enough emotional energy in me to continue the series…

(I will be starting ”Heartless Sky” soon regardless, though, because if I take a break now then I just know that I will never gather up the courage to read it…)

ੈ✩‧₊˚

Wish me luck! ♡

Emotional Damage! Omg this book ripped me apart and put me back together multiple times! It was one hell of a ride but i loved every minute. I must say there was some great character development, especially with Seth, Max and Darius. I’m afraid to start the next book but also excited!

I never read a series where i tried to expect to worse out of fear for being ripped apart by a character death until this one! Literally no one is safe! My heart can’t take it!
