I really struggled with if I wanted to rate this book a 4 or 3.5 because the second half/part 2 of this book wasn’t my favorite at all. I honestly believe it should’ve been 100-200 pages shorter to prevent it from feeling as though the plot & push/pull effect wasn’t soo drawn out. HOWEVER, Zane’s character in part 1 of this book was sooo good. He was literally down bad for Celeste & promised to give her whatever she wanted & he was just obsessed with her (I think his behavior towards Celeste is why it mad me soo angry that Celeste instantly felt like Zane had betrayed her because girl how I know your man better than you?). I also felt like him having trust issues & being hurt by Celeste in part 2 was very real. The foundation of their relationship was damaged & his thoughts & feelings about what occurred was very realistic. I think Zane is my favorite windsor & Celeste is easily my least favorite Windsor significant other.
