Okay so I loved this book!!! We’ve had a great understanding of how Zander’s mental health struggles affects all of the Bertha boys. Being in Zander’s mind showed how complex his issues were. Especially because a lot of what he does is intentional and he’s self aware even if his toxic behavior stems from his mental health struggles he’s still choosing not to do anything about it no matter how it impacts others. This book is almost a villain redemption ARC even if Zander is ultimately his own worst enemy the most.
My expectations were low because Madden’s book didn’t really connect with me. This book was so well done. Zander is a complicated character and his own issues can make him unlikable because he is manipulative even while being sweet. Watching him grow over the course of this book was so satisfying. Derek was his perfect match in every way.
