this series was so good and I'm genuinely going to miss it. I literally loved the characters so much (old & new), and I'm just so sad because I now have to say goodbye to this series. I can always reread it, yeah, but it's something about reading a book for the first time and falling in love with it. And that's how it was for me in this book. I had read the first two like a year ago, and then reread them so I could basically be caught up. But this was my favorite book out of the series. I love this series so much and I'm gonna miss it..a lot
4.5! This book was so unique and just overall just too good. I wasn't able to put it down, it kept me so interested all throughout the book. There's so many good things about it!!
First, the characters. Laila was my favorite character. I absolutely loved the way she looked at life and how she was so positive sometimes. She's definitely a character I will remember. Matty was an amazing character, I loved how his mental illness wasn't overshadowed. I loved the representation, so amazing. I loved how the author didn't try to cover it up like it wasn't something normal, because let's be real: we all struggle.
Next, I want to talk about the plot. Like I said before it was so freaking unique. I've never read a book like it and at first I was confused but as I slowly started reading it, I grasped the idea. It kept me so captivated, and I love how their relationship/friendship was platonic in a way. Like there was no romance feelings between them for the most part, and I loved it.
Lastly, I want to talk about the ending! It totally shocked me and I was not expecting it. It wasn't the ending I thought was gonna happen that's for sure. Don't get me wrong it was a great ending, just one that hadn't crossed my mind (isn't that the point lol) but honestly the ending was unique also.
But this book was so wonderful and I would absolutely recommend it!
