safe to say that i just love this series so much. i did accidentally read the third book first as i didnt know they were connected, so when i got to this book and i knew the characters already, i was just so excited and i love them more than i expected! Stella and Michael’s stories in this book are just so beautiful and filled with so much depth. i came so close to crying at some parts, i don’t think i can recommend this book and series enough. i loved Stella’s growth in this book, as she starts out shy and nervous, and thinks she has to change herself for approval but realizes she’s loves who she is, it is just amazing to read. i want more of these characters.
