Loved the Easter eggs Abby Jimenez’s writing just keeps getting better the more she publishes. This was the best book of this particular series, IMO. Loved the Easter eggs and surprising connections to the other books, loved the realistic portrayal of healing from trauma, and loved that even when the inevitable third act breakup happened, it actually made sense with the plot of the story and was realistic to actual human emotion.
