Hopeless by Elsie Silver
3.5
Being number 5 in the series, this book EXPECTS you to know 5 books worth of lore. Especially in the beginning. Luckily I've read 2 others in the series so I knew mostly what was going on but I would 100% not call this a standalone book unless you want to be pretty confused at first.
That being out of the way, I will say I was super excited to read Beau's story and it hit in some places... and really missed in others.
While I absolutely love Bailey and I love their relationship. There were times I was finding myself a bit bored.. Especially when it came to the parts when it was VERY clear they needed to end the "fake" relationship and it took about 10 more chapters to get to that bit.
Also the "will they won't they" towards the end felt pretty unnecessary for how utterly obsessed they were with each other (especially Beau?? Like hebought a whole bar for Bailey and I'm supposed to believe he's hung up on moving to the city?? ) it felt like drama for the sake of drama and tension which wasn't needed at all.
