Not for me.
I didn't love it. I did get to the end though, waiting for something to happen.
The characters seem to be running around like headless chickens, sorry to put that vision in your head... No one seems to actually know what they are doing. A lot of this story is set around sitting in the living room, talking. The characters have no depth yet, but it is book 1.
Everly should have been easier to like than she was but because the story is so surface level all I felt was mehhh.
That ending is so cliche. I wasn't going to read book 2 anyway but creating scenarios in the last two chapters that were easily avoidable. Let's just say TSTL is just that.
