I had to wait a few days to write this but I don’t think I am quite over the emotions this book made me feel. I went from laughing at Gibsie’s antics to sobbing hysterically to hugging my book when I was done. I have never felt a hangover from a book as much as I felt from this one omg this series had me in a chokehold. I know there are more books but I feel like I need a break from this world for now. I love Johnny and Shannon, they are just so cute together. I hope to see lots of them in the other books. 

I have never felt so attached to characters as much as I do to these. Everything they went through felt like it was my closest friend. I gave this book 5 ⭐ how could I not if I could give it more I would. I would also state there's a small amount of spice in this book but It is very minimal and it is mainly closed door stuff between the main characters. 

If you have not jumped into the world of Tommen, what are you waiting for? It is so worth it I can believe it took me this long to read it. I highly recommend it but be prepared there are a lot of triggers in this book and you need to think of your mental health first. 

Happy reading everyone 📚
