this book was definitely a lot to process. the connections between everything and clarification of the past look a bit to think about. there were some disturbing scenes, but at the end led to some of the sweetest scenes in the whole series. characters are more flushed out and it has really set the stage for the final book.
aaron being so vulnerable is so cute, and how they kept finding each other! even him and kenji kinda get along now. ella's parents are actually the worst, but i hope Emmaline either gets piece, or healed. it'd be nice for ella to have her sister back.
overall a nice continuation of the series and i can't wait for everyone to have a happy ending in the next book. hopefully aaron and 'juliette' will get to be together without all their other responsibilities.
