I have mixed feelings about this. I only finished it a few minutes ago. I liked this book, it had lots of parts I loved. I like Margret and Wes and the way the world was put together and the different religions and what have you. but I don't know it wasnt quite what I was expecting both complimentary and negatively. the writing is beautiful but it's dreadfully slow. the characters are fleshed but sometimes they were moving too slow with the romance or moving too fast. 

one plus glad the dog didn't die 👍 ill have more thoughts later probably

this is a very sweet book, at times there's some cringe. I really related to all the struggles that London was going through with their father.  some of it seemed like it happened to quickly problems solved too easily. but its a cheesy romance. 

found some of the smut bad but lol it's all subjective when it comes to that.

i think this is a fairly decent end to this series, there were parts that i loved and parts that i could live without. i loved Agatha and Niamh more than i did the first time around.

I wish we had spent more time with Simon's family and what have you.

Shepard and Penny are very cute together, and they both deserve the world.

I do still want to shake Baz's dad by the shoulders.

I find Fiona a little annoying, but what can you do. I support womens wrongs

All of these characters are extremely neurodivgrent to me

it's very much a middle book in a series. but it has a lot of heart. and I just love Shepard and everything he does so❤️ as always these books are just fun and then they hit you with a feeling.
