i won’t lie, i’ve been jumping back and forth beween ratings, but i think i’ve settled. yes it is more smut than plot, but i need the break after bawling my eyes out from BoT (even tho i’m still not done yet). but i flew through this like real bad. had the literal time of my life reading this lmaooo. could it have been shorter? yes. do i really care atp? nah not really. boy did i have a time, i read this at literally every possible convenience lmaooooo 
 
rachel, i honestly don’t know how i feel about her. like i see where she’s coming from with not wanting to be in the spotlight because she’s been in it all her life, but at the same time, it’s like, girl, not everything is about you… but then the fact that she’s like 5’0…. um 🧍🏽‍♀️ chile anyways so, but she was okay, not my favorite fmc 
 
jake, he’s definitely my favorite mc in this book (and maybe i’m biased for a few reasons but myb) he’s such a golden retriever, and honestly, i didn’t find him as annoying as i thought i was going to. his jealousy needed some work, like chill out, but other than that, oh i loved himmm 
 
caleb, where do i start? my assumptions about him from the first few chapters diminished almost immediately. based on how jake was in the prequel, i did not think caleb was going to top him (no pun intended) but whewww chileeee 🌚 
 
and ilmari, i won’t lie, it took some time for me to actually like him fr bc he just seemed a little random in the group, but you know what, let’s just say that all my assumptions just flew out the window with this one.
