this book would be infinitely better if oliver james hernández was the protagonist instead of nathan bird...

honestly everyone in this book was either annoying and/or underdeveloped and the fact that

ollie gave nate multiple chances after nate treated him so poorly

throughout the book was just so baffling that having the pov from his side would have just made more sense.

nate never seemed to know what he wanted, which i guess is true of a lot of 16 year olds but nothing about his character was compelling and i spent the entire book just thinking “why do i care?” short answer: i didn’t

Spoiler

“To be honest, some of the magic walked out of my life when Caryl left, and even keeping busy wasn’t always enough to distract me from the loss.”

honestly this is more like a 3.5 but rounded up because i have a lot of love for millie roper. overall a somewhat rushed, disappointing ending to a really interesting trilogy, but what can you do?
