This was a fun read, but nothing too crazy. I'm definitely partial to Fangirl Down, and I spent much of this book being excited for Sig and Chloe's book tbh. I fear this book wasn't edited enough (saw at least two typos in the text) because it was a bit not fleshed out as much as it should've been and some characters fell the wayside. In particular, Burgess's daughter and the familial part of the story could've used some more fluffing. Overall, a fun and spicy read as always, but I will admit that some of this spice was a bit cringe for me. I'm usually aware that Tessa's spice can be cringey, but generally idc because I'm so invested. This was a reach for me. I also wish we'd gotten more about Tallulah's schooling and passions. Generally, this was a good read but just felt a little underdeveloped to be able to fully sink into it. But I still ate it up in two days, so really, what do I know.
