I actually really enjoyed the first book. I thought the different dynamics between characters were lots of fun. I just didn’t love the individual plot lines, if that makes sense. Despite this book being a bit of a clunker, it felt like the story moved really fast. I definitely feel like this is a series that you will either love or hate. For me, I really enjoyed the first book and didn’t like book 2 or 3. 

This book certainly isn’t the worst book I’ve read this year, but it’s also far from being among the best. Even for a YA book, this feels super immature and pretty poorly written. The characters are all pretty bland. Worst of all, the “twists” could be seen from a mile away. There are just far better YA thrillers you can spend your time reading that I can’t in good faith recommend this one.

 I really enjoyed this book. If there’s one thing I love about a thriller, it’s lots of drama and hidden friendship/neighborhood secrets. This book has both in spades. The tea was piping hot between all of these characters, and it made for such a fun experience. This definitely got me out of my previous slump.

 If you thought I hated Great Big Boring Life, just wait until you hear about my thoughts on this one! Seriously, I think Emily Henry and I are about to break up forever. It’s not me, it’s her. The premise for this book was really fantastic, but the execution was a total failure. The characters weren’t engaging, and I found myself hate reading this one. There are too many monotonous characters that run together, and I didn’t find myself rooting for any of them. There was supposed to be a found family trope somewhere in this one, but maybe I missed it because I was too busy rolling my eyes at the stupidity of it all. Speaking of stupidity, let’s talk about this “ending.” This ending filled me so full of rage that I was stomping around my house yelling “do you believe this crap” to my dog. Spoiler alert, she didn’t get it either.  I would say the only good thing about this book is the cover, but that’s ruined because of the steaming pile of trash that was the ending, so I can’t ...

 Emily Henry is really testing my patience with this one. I felt like the premise was great, but the execution was horrible. This could not have been more boring. The characters weren’t engaging, and by the end I found myself hate reading this. Never again.

 This was a fantastic way to end the series. I love Rebel Blue so much, and I will deeply miss reading about the ranch and all of the characters I have grown to love so much. Cam and Dusty’s story was truly exquisite, and this was such a beautiful story to end on.
