As the two women play the part of a happy couple, lines start to blur, and they're left wondering who will make the real first move. I am feeling very raw after saying goodbye to Bright Falls and the characters I have fallen in love with throughout the series.

I also loved that we got to see her vulnerable underside, her hurt and the parts of herself she locked up for good, and the ways that Stevie can open her up again to the idea of love and partnership in a way that is so deeply relatable to so many people who have gone through a heartbreak. So not only do you have a counter to action but you also have a situation where to overcome it, all a character has to do is change their mind.However, I am still thrilled I read it and will likely reread it in the future and will definitely be recommending it to everyone I know who enjoys romance! New insight into iris was just what i wanted to see with the addition of Stevie who is an emotional, strong sweet character and following her journey was amazing. This is minor, but I am pretty certain either Iris or Stevie said they were allergic to strawberries earlier on in the book, and then later in the book, they both eat strawberry pie. This is the first and last time she is mentioned in the book, she has no lines and even less characterisation. Here is one example of how unnaturally she incorporates part of a character’s identity: “…two gay men—one of them trans—played Hero and Claudio.

both of the prior installments of this series missed the mark for me but i knew there was potential.Not just Adri, her ex-girlfriend, who I think we’re supposed to kind of hate, but also Ren, who is supposed to be her closest friend in the group and Vanessa, too, though she had very little page time.
