Holly Jackson is a mastermind. Her books never fail and she writes such diverse and complex characters that you immediately fall in love with. My heart ached for Red so much, she is such a strong woman. Don’t even get me started on Arthur . Their relationship 😭. *** spoiler **** The letter at the end 🫣.

This book is amazing. I don’t read romance but I loved this . I think this is more than a romance, it self discovery. Autumn is a strong and beautiful female character that you will fall in love with immediately.

This wasn’t the best book in the series but a great way to end Katniss’s journey of being a rebel that fought for the freedom of her people.
