  • Dark
  • Lots of banter
  • I loved literally everything except the quoting of Shakespeare during sex…. Totally killed the vibes; not a fan
  • I do think the romance was lacking, especially in the transition from hooking up to being madly in love, but I’m not bothered by it
  • Unless I’m remembering wrong, this one had a lot more spicy scenes than the last two in the series, and I’m here for it
  • It alludes to Wizard of Oz with some characters and symbols, but not a retelling
  • Content warnings:
    • Drug use/abuse
    • Murder/death
    • Gun violence
    • Addiction
    • Death of parent
    • Abandonment
