So Ant was a little b!tch from the start.
I read this book last because I didn’t know it existed, but it was a little depressing to know what happens.

I don't really like Bel, but I feel so bad for her and Rachel. Also, I'm kind of happy that I decided to finish the book,  although it had a VERY slow start. 😓

Even though I shed some tears I really like this book. Eden is such a strong character. I’m glad she had some kind of character development. I also love Eden and Josh they’re so cute together. Josh is such a green flag I love him. 🥹 However I wish we could’ve gotten more information about what happens with Kevin
