The gang of characters in this book have buried absurdly deep inside my lil heart, and I love that through every situation they find themselves in, the team stay so connected to each other and the depth of their friendship is completely endless.
HOWEVER, I read to escape the real world, not to experience it in the books I enjoy.... so the obvious political undertone of this whole book made me feel icky down to my core.
Just give me superheroes, the rag tag gang, Nicky's ADHD brain shenanigans, awful dad jokes, cringey sex talks, and let Seth and Nicky kiss.... I do not need or require a 5 minute monologue about police brutality or police corruption and real world issues disguised as an upset parent yelling at another parent for being a cop. It felt weird and unimportant to the story. Police corruption alone would have worked, but it just took it too far to a point it was strange.
I STILL LOVED IT THOUGH, THE BOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN 5 STAR IF THE POLITICS COULD HAVE TAKEN A CHILL PILL, BUT THAT ENDING WAS FUCKING EPIC. [image]...more

Okay, but like... this book was cringey af and the romance is sooooooooo disgusting, and unrealistic?

(tbh, Jonathon never redeemed himself properly, he just became... "a softer wank-stain with more humility", and NONE of the plot in this story actually resolved itself and felt like it was open for ✨reader interpretations✨, but the 4 stars I give is for that one scene that featured a toy guinea pig in a Christmas hat that was apart of a family Christmas tradition, because that shit was GAG-INDUCING levels of cute ...more

This book was a fucking SHOCK to my little vanilla icecream, white bread, pepper too spicy system. (I know there's WAY worse/more fucked books out there, but most of the time I like to read for fun, silly tehe's and men kissing, so I'm very inexperienced in the fucked up book world)

I waited for SO LONG before heading into book 3 because I felt like there was NO WAY in FUCK, any book could compare to the feral rat love of book 2??I waited for SO LONG before heading into book 3 because I felt like there was NO WAY in FUCK, any book could compare to the feral rat love of book 2???????? There's a reason we are all feral for Ilya and I almost knew it my soul that book 3 wouldn't be able to compete and I feared I'd insta-hate it or insta-compare it to book 2.
I admit [image]
Even if it doesn't get to the 5 star goodness of book 2... This was a solidly sweet, feet kicking time!
The first half of this book was incredibly strong, and it fizzled a bit second half for me. But that's a reflection of me and not the book, because I like the chase, the awkward build up, the uncertain flirty interactions and the anxiety in the beginning parts of working out another person.... and this book was FULL of that.
Ryan was so fucking endearing, he's just a big ole skin-vibrating-levels of anxious bean.

A great time was had, the ending was wrapped up, the epilogue was definitely a random highlight for me, I'm so happy to have a smol glimpse into the future for Seth/Nicky/Jazz/Gibby, and all together, the book was so nice and wonderful to have the whole gang wrap it up nicely.
I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally wish there was more on page interactions with Seth/Nicky that were just sweet, and not Nicky being weird and Seth shaking his head or loving him anyway. I found there was so much wasted opportunity for feet-swinging cuteness over Seth/Nicky, but honestly, all 3 books kinda let me down on that front. (I'm sorry, I just had to say it, Nicky was alot, and he charmed me, but there was lack of cuteness between him and Seth after they actually realised their feelings in book 1. I saiddddddd what I saidddddd)
HOWEVER, Honestly......... The book is more about the whole plot of characters, and Seth/Nicky whilst also being MC's were almost like... their own side characters because all the side characters, felt like MC'S??????
I'm tired. What am I even writing? I've been in a MASSIVE slump. What day is it?...more
