3rd book best book!!
I think that this series has shown me that the writing style is just not great. There are lots of plot holes, not a whole lot character development, and just overall feels a bit cluttered. However, this 3rd book in the series made all of that much easier to ignore. I won't lie, I did a fair amount of kicking my feet and giggling.
I truly wish that there would have been more regarding the characters themselves. Everything we learned about who they are was either very surface level or glossed over far too quickly. There was also alooooot of smut. Which is fine, I guess, but personally I would be willing to sacrifice some of it for more actual plot. I really liked the characters - at least what I was given of them. Would have loved more!
The plot of this one seemed much more clear and laid out - definitely moreso than the 2nd book in the series. Still some plot holes and plot points that were not entirely sussed out, but not the worst. I think how much I liked the characters really helped in that.
I did love getting to see Alex come to terms with his sexuality. And we looove Bi representation, woo!!! I did smile the entire time when Alex tells River he loves him.
Honestly could have done without the epilogue - it was too short and too many things were just skimmed over. It felt almost pointless.
Did I love? No. Did I hate? Also no. Would I read again? Maybe. Which is more than I can say for the other two books.
Also what is with this author and the nicknames?!?! Kitten??? EW! AND it was just way too often. But that was also an issue I had with the other books as well.
