I joke with my friends that if a book makes me cry, it automatically gets 5 stars. If crying is the litmus test, then this book would get 100 stars. 😍 I basically spent the last 40% with tears quietly streaming down my face. This was beautiful. Hard, but beautiful. Take the content warning at the beginning very seriously, because Sara is pulling ZERO punches. This entire quartet has been fantastic, and the way she brought it full circle was astounding. If you've thought about adding these books to your TBR, stop thinking, and just do it. It'  worth every minute you spend in this world and with these characters. 💖 Also, it's hot af. 😏😝
