honestly this book was really dreadful and hard to get through. shara and chloe are extremely insufferable and i hated them the whole way through the book. also it was way too slow paced and it felt like reading the same ten pages over and over again until like 250 pages in. then it was just chloe being annoying some more. i absolutely adored all of the side characters. smith and rory are the reason i finished this book.
