It’s an emotional rollercoaster—raw, heartbreaking, and beautifully haunting.
I really really loved Sloan.
She is a fiercely independent yet deeply wounded heroine, navigating the scars of her past, the pull of her present, and the uncertainty of her future. (And also has a passion for Zelda. She’s my kind of girl)
Nash, Hunter, and North each try to prove their love to Sloan in their own way, while Saylor’s presence (both seen and unseen) adds a whole new layer of heartbreak.
The steam is chef’s kiss (🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 and then some!) the twists are unexpected, and the emotions hit hard.
