I was gifted a digital ARC copy of this book from the author. I voluntarily read it and am leaving an honest review.

Ektaa knocked it out of the park yet again! I felt ALL the feelings and cannot wait to keep reading. These characters are everything. Some of my theories were right on track, but other things took me by surprise. Loved every second. I will definitely be continuing the series.

I loved this book! The audiobook has FANTASTIC NARRATION. I could listen to this narrator all day. Jessica Threet portrays the characters perfectly.

I loved this book just as much as the first one (which is to say A LOT). I love Rebecca Thorne's writing and these characters so much

Oh. My. Goodness.... Phenomenal! With her first book I think Tigest Girma has already become an auto buy author for me. The tension? Intrigue? Rich backstory? Secrets? All of it was outstanding. I finished approximately 15 minutes ago and immediately began scouring the Internet for a release date on book 2 because I'm DESPERATE. I am already looking forward to rereading this right before book 2 comes out to prepare.... And I may not even wait that long to reread because I already know I will pick up on small details so much more during a reread.

I received a gifted audiobook copy of this from PRH Audio. I voluntarily read this book and am leaving an honest review. 

I wasn't a big fan of the narration of the audiobook, but I really enjoyed this book. As a former Okie who lived in Oklahoma City I LOVED seeing Ada, Chickasaw Nation, and more OKC area things get mentioned in this book. The familiar area was definitely a bonus for me.... My Step-Mom who was raised in Sulphur probably won't believe me when I tell her Sulphur was mentioned. 

A few lines felt a little cringey, but not enough to make me want to stop reading.

Omg I love nerdy YA Romcoms like this one! This was so so so so good! As a nerd (especially with D&D and fantasy shows/movies/books) this was so fun to read. The characters are amazing and I was sucked into the story very early on and I just HAD to keep reading. I'll definitely read more from this author. I just finished and I already kind of want to reread it.

I enjoyed this just like all the others in this series. These books are great pallet cleansers between books with heavier topics. I love the lightheartedness, banter, and fun from them.

The narration was good.

This was so so so good. Such beautiful writing, a wonderful story, great characters, and a tragically accurate portrayal of the American healthcare system sprinkled in. 

If you don't want to know if I cried or not stop reading this review now. 

I messaged my friend who recommended this book to me around the 90 % mark saying that I hate her, but love the book.... While I just kept crying. I love her again now, but it was rough there for a bit. 10/10 would highly recommend. I will definitely read more from this author.
