I read it because it is part of the series. 

I really despise that the author issued no content warnings when it first came out.

I can't say I like this one as much as the first two books, but I did like it more than I ended up liking Moonstuck. After how antagonistic Zane was with Asa at the beginning, it felt a little too quick how fast he fell afterward and it seemed to come out of nowhere. While the others fell rather quickly too, it just didn't have the same whiplash in how they interacted at first only for the non-Mulvaney member to do a sudden 180 in how he feels. If that had been developed better, this would have been better.

ASA MULVANEY MAKES ME SO FUCKING FERAL OH MY GOD 😫😫

ahem, anyway. 🙂

WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN? i’m so fucking serious when i say: every SINGLE book hits harder than the last! there’s a pattern to the flow (unraveling) of the story, but there’s certain elements about each story that make them distinctly different according to the mcs.

i love seeing how much the Mulvaney family has grown, and seeing different sides to each character whenever i read their story? 🥰 it makes them REAL instead of whatever two-dimensional view of them i had prior to their story.

Zane is such a national treasure. maybe i’m biased because he’s a journalist and journalism is my major, BUT THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW 😼

but let me shut up so i can get started with Avi and Felix’s story 🫡🤭

I don’t think I can express just how much I love this series! And this book in particular was so good. I loved that while it’s very dark, it has its light and funny moments too. Asa and Zane fit so well together and I love that they were both ridiculously smitten with each other.

One of the things that I liked about this book was that it didn’t shy away from some really dark topics. Like suicide, family trauma, and mental health, to name just a few. I also loved that Asa was so caring towards Zane, especially in some very vulnerable moments. They were both such sweethearts when they were around each other. This one is getting five stars. I can’t wait to dive into Avi’s book!

This was a bit disappointing. I don't know - there wasn't anything really that great about any of the main characters. I thought the twin telepathy thing would be explored more, but it wasn't; because Avi (MMC's twin) was out on a business trip for 97% of the story. We only got to see him in the big showdown at the end. Super disappointing. 

I was expecting more and I got remarkably less. :/

Still alright and would read again when rereading the series though.

Y'all. This book! It is my favorite in the series so far! There is just something about Asa and Zane's relationship that won me over. Also, the mystery in this one was a head trip. I can't wait to see Avi and Felix's side of the story!
