I did end up enjoying this a lot. The start was great, the ending made me need the next one and the bonus scenes were fun. But the middle felt a little bit overwhelming, as I think a few too many storylines were shoved in. 

I’m hoping the Knox, Brady and Gigi story will be developed more in the next book but from this one I also don’t care that much. It felt like a distraction from the other, especially because I’m not as invested in Gigu, even though she's great. 

Overall, it was fun but not a must-read.
