What will I do with my life now??? I already miss the Havenforts, Masons, and Demerovens 😭 I generally don't like all the political talk that comes with high society male characters, but I like how progressive the laws they want to pass are. I still don't know what to feel about James, but he has definitely grown. I am not a fan of the third act break up- I felt the heartbreak to the core :( I am happy where the couples have gone and the epilogue just makes me feel all bubbly.

I also like how Gwen and Beth still maintained their characteristics and personalities from the previous book and just how funny they are. There is still a lot of arguments that surround them. All the love in these two families just make me feel so warm and fuzzy 🥰

I think James needs to go to therapy though. He has a lot of trauma he has to deal with. I'll be damned if he hurts Bobby anymore 😤
 
All the internalized homophobia and blackmailing from Raverson is just sad. Dude is addicted to gambling with the hope of making something for himself. I hope being dunked into the lake cleared his head.


I can't docked points for how frustrated Alban made me get with James, but there were a few grammar and spelling errors that caught my eye.
