I loved this book so much, it was a great ending to the series. I really enjoyed seeing all the different characters relationships, especially more of browyn and Nate and browyn and addy. I would have liked to see more povs than just nate Phoebe and addy, going into this book I think expected to see all POVs, so I was hoping for more from different perspectives, but I see why the author chose not to. There were so many plot twists that I didn’t expect. 

I really enjoyed how this book questioned morality, and how it wrapped up everything from one of us is next. I also really liked how we got to see Simon and Jake again, and return to parts of the original storyline. I never suspected evie or gavin. I liked how the story ended the cycles (making sure Owen doesn’t turn out bad, breaking the cycle of toxicity, Nate getting a better life). I really liked his relationship with browyn, and their final lines. Overall I really liked the book.
