I have mixed feelings about Maddie, but overall, she's the fierce older sister who won't sit back and take bullshit from anyone and I can dig that. Her self-victimization gets jaded over time, though. Hassen is just a lonely guy who wants to have companion. Doesn't excuse his actions in the previous book, though.

Amazing! I love this one just as much as the others I have previously read. I also love that we finally have a love interest who is curvy and is one of my fave characters. I appreciate that as body diversity is super important and I hope to see more representation as the books go.
