Absolutely LOVED the twist at the end. Was not expecting that and this is what I love about books. Last few books in the series kinda lacked that omg at the end but this brought my hopes up for the next few books. On to the next.

unbelievable!
Hannah learning of what Jessie has been hiding didn’t go the way I wanted it to and now based on Hannah’s response, she is about to put herself in GREAT danger! Girl, what your sister did was protection for ALL. SMH, miss think you know it all. Ugh!
Listened via audiobook.
