SPOILS ALERT!

General Opinion

I like this book; it answers many of my questions from the series, but it also creates more confusing questions. From the shocking discovery in this book, the next thing I know, Tobias Hawthorne might be alive... ​

 

Characters

My favorite character arc in this book is Libby x Nash. THEY ARE SO CUTE!!!. And the ending where Libby got pregnant and Nash was there to check it with her, I screamed. I am not a fan of pregnant trope but this just makes so much sense and I just can't help but feel happy for them. Moreover, Nash keeps on getting Libby cowboy hats until she wears them, it's so silly yet adorable. I just love that Libby finally found someone who loves her and treats her with respect, unlike her creepy ex. Also, the fact that Libby was there, helping Nash face with biological father, COUPLE GOAL! This book makes them my favorite couple, they are just so perfect and cute!!! 

​

Avery and Jameson are the daring couple as always, however, this book didn't focus much on them, so I won't get into a deep dive. I do enjoy Avery, Jameson, and Grayson's dynamic in this book, it just seems way more light-hearted and comfortable, as Grayson loosens up a bit. 

​

I wasn't that interested in Toby and Hanna's love story, I feel like it's missing something. But it's so sad how after they leave Hannah's hometown, they rarely get to see each other, only meeting up years later when Hannah was pregnant with Avery. 

​

Xander and Max are adorable, how they instantly kick and Max being Max. I laugh when Max points at Xander, saying how Hawthorne boys with their abs and looks, Max is the best. I need to see their first date, WE NEED MORE MAX x XANDER!!! 

 

​Plot

This novel doesn't have a consistent plot to it, as it's different stories of different people shoved into one book. The first one was with Avery and Jameson, then Hannah and Toby, Nash and Libby, Xander, the 4 brothers, and the treehouse scene. 

​

I especially love the Secret Santa chapter, how everyone was trying to get the best present for each other to win. The moment when Avery got Grayson that rock engraved with their message to each other that I won't disclose, I was sold, and so was Grayson, making Avery the winner of Secret Santa. I just love their relationship so much, even though Avery and Jameson are perfect, I equally love Avery and Grayson friendship.  

​​​​​​

​Conclusion

I love this book, I bought it the moment it got published and devour it in 2 days. It was just so easy to consume with it's large fonts and short chapters. I would really recommend this book, and hope for more unresolved mystery in the next one.
