Whew. Parkside Cove is not the same place we left and honestly, I was here for every twist, betrayal, and emotional rollercoaster this story threw at me.
This book is a tangled web of loyalty, love triangles, family secrets, and people trying to do right but constantly falling into chaos. And somehow, even when they’re dead wrong, you feel for them because the emotions are just that raw and real.
Bleek comes home thinking he can fix the past, but everything’s shattered: his brother’s in jail, his girl’s pregnant by his best friend, and his mama? Cold as ice. Just when you think it can’t get messier… it does.
I really felt for Indigo watching her future fall apart while she tries to hold it together for her brother? Absolutely heartbreaking. And when Angela and Grace’s secrets finally explode? Let’s just say: generational trauma doesn’t skip steps, and now their kids are left to survive the fallout.
This book is full of betrayal, impossible choices, and love that hurts more than it heals. Nobody gets out clean. Nobody.
