I didn’t expect to love this duology as much as I did but something about it had me hooked. I will say I think Burke and James should’ve suffered more after slut shaming Rosalie. Tom is hands down one of my favorite MMCs ever. I love him dearly he’s literally never done a thing wrong ever in his life. Also the epilogue made me bawl while eating my breakfast because I love Renley so so much. My only pet peeve with the audiobook is that all the MMCs were voiced by the same person. 

Also,

the shooting at the end was so unnecessary like I literally rolled my eyes.

I feel like giving this a star rating wouldn’t be right because I listened to it at 4 o’clock in the morning so whatever feelings I have about it are definitely swayed by the earlier hour. HOWEVER, I’m going to do it anyways :)

Just as goofy as the first book. I don’t think it’s the best book ever written but if you’re looking for a silly little fantasy series this one is for you.

I wanted to hate this book so bad going into it but Josh is just so fucking funny. I definitely don’t think I would’ve like this as much as I did had I not listened to the audiobook.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 35%.

I know I say this about every book I DNF but I really will be coming back to this eventually…
