This book was, in my opinion, one of the weakest of the series. But to be fair, I read an awful Portuguese translation, which was outdated, out of context, and cringey. It ended up really removing me from the story, which was in on itself, repetitive. I will still continue with the series because I'm invested in Mia and Michael's romance, as well as Lilly as a character.
