To those that say the series gets better…I get it now.
There are still some qualms I have overall, but I throughly enjoyed the escapism this book allowed me.
The found family vibe is strong and the themes of love and friendship. I was relieved with the strong pivot in the approach to female friendship here, and how a “not like the other girls” character became a champion for the power and value of female friendship and the strength of the women around her that had also survived against the odds.
