Oh! So I’ll literally never be the same again! Okay!

—Ĕ�

Everything that has ever been said about this series is absolutely correct. The politics, characters, storyline, and every other element was so intricately and beautifully written and once again: I am in AWE of Sarah’s mind. I have taken so many things away from this series as a whole � lessons that I can apply to my own life and this right here is the whole reason I read. Although it was an EPIC, action packed story � the true story was one regarding the importance of small acts and the impact kindness has on the world. This was the perfect way to end this series and I think I’ll carry this story with me forever.

YOU DO NOT YIELD! 🥹🗡️❤️‍🔥� ]]>

I’m rounding up to a solid 4 ⭐️

I think I went into this with too high of expectations…I was expecting my life to be changed, and tbh I haven’t even thought about this book since I’ve read it. The writing was beautiful and I really do appreciate the story - but I just didn’t get as connected to the characters as I thought I would - I think the pacing was too quick in some spots and the povs jumped around so much that I couldn’t get to know anyone thoroughly enough to be truly affected by them.

It did keep my interest and explored some VERY important topics and I do see the beauty in that. Just wasn’t what I expected! TBD if I’m continuing this series, maybe one day! (I think I have to be in the right mood for these) ]]>

Alexa, play Father Figure 😋😋😋

FINALLY read this og booktok staple! I went in with pretty low expectations other than a ✨good time� and it honestly exceeded those! It definitely had its flaws and the characters needed some SERIOUS development (did they really undergo this needed development�? Not so sure LMAO) but I still had fun so I’m gonna give it a nice little 3.5 ]]>
