I really enjoyed this series! I've been looking forward to Matt's story since I met him in book one, and the romance between him and Lottie did not disappoint. The main reason I rated this as low as I did is just because the whole thing with Leo really fell short. I really wish there'd been more of an explanation or something regarding the magic behind everything??? And while the author definitely brought it all full circle in the epilogue, I think it deserved a little more time within the pages of the book. That said, the romance itself was absolutely lovely and both of these characters are stubborn as hell, which is like my favorite thing.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Sexual content
Moderate: Ableism, Alcoholism, Emotional abuse, Fatphobia
Minor: Biphobia, Child death, Eating disorder, Sexual assault
Child Death: At the beginning of the series, Lizzie has a miscarriage and her son's death is mentioned throughout the entire series.
Fatphobia/Emotional Abuse: Both of these are not direct flashbacks, but Lottie had two ex-boyfriends who were emotionally abusive and fatphobic which led to her having a past with disordered eating and she has major self-esteem issues now.
Biphobia/Ableism/Alcoholism: Craig, Matt's dad, is an awful guy and all three of this comes from him. There are a couple of one-off comments that are biphobic and ableist when he talks about Lottie. Nothing major.
