Finished this all in one sitting!! My favorite is still the second of the trilogy but I will gladly accept any excuse to read about these characters. I liked Addy’s character growth in this one a lot, and I appreciate that the author didn’t go for any gimmicky pointless breakups between the couples. I thought I figured out the whole plot twist, but it turned out I was only halfway right, which was a super fun surprise!! I wouldn’t mind another ten books just about Bronwyn and Nate but other than that I really loved the conclusion this gave to the trilogy. I thought it was especially clever how the plot ended up tying back to book 1 in such a cohesive way. It really added an extra layer to the original mystery that was so fun. Such a refreshing read to pull me out of my book slump!!
