wow. i finished this yesterday, and my thoughts are still all over the place. the way this story made me feel is something i haven’t experienced in a loooooong time. i spend about 10 hours reading this book, and i spent AT LEAST half of the time with tears in my eyes. the last 50 pages had me questioning life (tbh the whole book had me questioning). every single character had me crying. why did i choose this hobby again? can’t wait for base and lu’s full story!!

These books were one hell of a ride and deserve way more than the possible 5 stars. How am I supposed to ever get over it? I’ve never cried so much over fictional characters😭😭😭They’ve ripped my heart out, stomped on it and put it back together over and over again. I loved every character (except the obvious ones iykyk), the plot is both wholesome and heartbreaking and the smut is *chef’s kiss*. Kade and Stacey will forever own a part of my heart and live rent free in my head. Leigh’s books are perfection🫶🏼
