I think this is definitely my favorite from the Briar U series so far! I really loved delving into Hunter’s backstory and also reading about Demi. Their story started off so different and developed in a such an interesting way, in comparison to the other Briar universe books. Also, the epilogue was slightly unexpected and it was a nice lighthearted way to end the novel. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of the usage of the word “shrink.” Also, the hero complex that occurred at the end was quite questionable. I think the entire situation should’ve been written at a different angle, because it really just felt like the author and characters didn’t understand what was actually happening, in my opinion.
