I didn't like the ending. There were so many characters in this story that I sometimes got confused as to who they were. This book was just ok.

I don't know what to say but this book has a special place in my heart. I felt for Nina  because I went through the same thing. I won't hesitate to give a 5 star! It's too good not to just like the Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I admire this universe Taylor made.

I’m loving how TJR ties all of her books together, with references to Carrie Soto and even the same gossip rag Sub Rosa.

I really liked this book. It's strange because it was and the interwoven story was remarkable but it just wasn’t quite a five.
