I gave this book 4.25 stars as it was so good. Lily and Lo have come so so far since the first books, especially with their addictions. I loved their little vacation, and I love how close everyone got in this book, especially Ryke and Lo. I did not guess that Sara Hale would be the leak and the one sending weird + threatening texts to Lily and Lo. I cannot wait to continue reading this series, and I cannot wait to see how everyone's books play out, especially Rose's story as we don't know much about her.

Quotes:
- “Sometimes the person we think we’ll become is the person we already are, and the person we truly become is the person we least expect.”
- “He is my breath. My soul. My life-force. I have spent forever with him.”
- “I could not live without Lo. He is as much a part of me as the sun is a part of the sky, as the earth is to the universe. I need him in order to wake up in the morning. I need him to feel whole.”
- “Because I think she loves you more than she loves sex. And you love her more than you love alcohol, but you two just haven’t let yourselves believe it yet.”
- “She shrunk into herself and waited for me to stare at her like she was gross and dirty. But I just wanted to hold her and tell her that she was worth so much more than whatever she was searching for.”
- “Did you bet on me?' I ask dumbfounded. 'Yeah,' Lo says, unabashed. His eyes fall to mine. 'And I'll always bet on your side.”
- “She is my past, my present, my future. So when I open the door and slide into the driver’s seat, I’m not surprised that it feels like I’m returning home.”
- “A tiger would birth a baby llama sooner than Rose would be barefoot in a dirty club.”

Tropes:
- Found Family
- Childhood Best Friends to Lovers
- Addictions
