Helena, it can't actually be over, right???? I need Carrigans always and forever!
Thanks so much to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an e-arc of the completion of one of my favorite romance trilogies!
I adored Tara, a background character in both of the previous books, so her getting her story was so exciting and important as a way to end this series! As a woman from the South myself, I really saw how passionate Tara was about the place she was from and how much she loved it. Working to make it better for marginalized folks is one of the most important jobs in the South right now, and although Tara wasn't always doing it for the right reasons, I really admired her dedication, particularly as a wealthy white woman.
Holly was an amazing character, and I couldn't believe how much I had grown to love her even though she only appeared in one book. She struggled to really know what she wanted out of her life, although she did know what she didn't want, and that's just as important.
It was so great to see the Carrigan crew, especially from this somewhat outsider perspective, and how supportive, silly, and a little kooky they all are.
The romance in this book had so many perfectly-written tropes like fake-dating, FWB, and more, and I really enjoyed how the third-act breakup happened. It was necessary for our character's growth.
I always say I love books where our characters have to figure out their shit, and boy did these characters!
