I loved everything about this book except the ending!!! I just wish the murderer had been someone else because I had all this built-up expectancy and it all just deflated once I found out who had done it.
I loved how she got to live out the rest of her life with Tate and that was all super sweet but it just felt as if that all was not right once I found out that she had killed Chase and just gotten away with it. Yes, it was unexpected but they didn't even explain how exactly she had done it. I wanted more specifics about how she had gotten away with it and not run out of time.
So, overall this was a pretty good book, the beginning was a tad slow but once I got into it I loved it... up until the end. The ending and slow beginning are the reason this book was not a 5 star for me. I was slightly disappointed (by the ending, everything else was amazing) but not terribly disappointed... so I just suggest that you read this book for yourself, you might just see it differently than I do :)
