THANK YOU x♾️ to the publisher and netgalley for an arc of this!!!

ppp was one of my most anticipated books of 2024. it did NOT disappoint. i was worried, because i am wary of sequels in general, ESPECIALLY unplanned sequels, but i should have known that RLS would never let me down. i’m so glad i already preordered the B&N special edition. RLS has hinted at the conflict, and i was scared of how she would pull it off, but it was done beautifully. the conflict was very understandable, to me at least, and the general vibe of this book reminded me a lot of Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins, which I love. these characters stole my heart in T3, and they kept it during P3. i wanted to give RLS a hug after i finish because she writes about the issues that the characters go through so incredibly. the writing is authentic, evocative, emotional, and beautiful. i was crying for literally 60% of the book. this is one of the best depictions of college i have ever read. the epilogue was outstanding, too. i will not stop thinking about, talking about, or recommending this duology for the rest of my life. these books are the blueprint for romance, YA books, and duologies.
