Spoiler alert! Weeeell. I hated how she wrapped this series. That ending was too much like “and now they marry and whoooopsy - there’s a baby- and they live happily ever after”. Nahhhhh. The plot twists of the finale were good but the suspense lastet for 3 pages before everything was resolved and all the secrets explained. I knew before that there wasn’t a lot more coming and decided I want to finish this series anyway. So still a solid book but I can tell you one thing: no, you do not have to read it and no there is no recommendation. If you are looking for something light, easy with a tiny bit of spice - sure. I think this could be a vacation book series or when you don’t really want to invest more than two thoughts about this series.
