⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
🎻I really liked Anna at the start and found her super relatable, but she started to make some really questionable choices towards the end and so I ended up not liking her as much (and it’s explained why she’s making the choices that she is, but she is literally a grown woman and I think it’s fair to hold her responsible for her actions)
🎻Quan was amazing, as expected. He was my favourite of the three main men from book 1 and I’m so glad that I’ve finally read his book.
🎻I thought the caregiver rep was really well done and it was a perspective on caregiving that I’ve never read before which I was grateful for
🎻I liked the relationship between Anna and Quan, but I didn’t love it. In all honesty, though I liked both characters separately, we didn’t get enough of them together so I find it a little hard to imagine them having a stable long-term relationship
🎻The autism rep was super well done (as it was in the last 2 books)
