i originally dnf’d this months ago but i wanted to give it another chance. i feel indifferent to the story or the characters, it’s generally sad - which i knew it would be - but if i never read this, i would be the same as i am now that i have read it. sad to hear lexi died and kind of shocking to hear rusty set himself on fire.

so far evie and nick are my favorite couple, they were the least annoying and the most compatible?? i guess. the ending seemed rushed like it was forgotten about and thrown in quickly but the relationship between evie and nick seemed the most thought out of the three so far.

i really liked the ending, that it wasn’t too much of a wrap up but that you can see they are okay for now. excited for sunshine court and to reread this!
