I feel like this book was long for no reason. so much happened but like nothing at all at the same time and I understand we’re not supposed to like her husband, but she was going to cheat on him regardless. even if he was an amazing husband, she was going to cheat with Devon anyway because that is her soulmate. I feel like the progression of the story was kind of muddled and it ended very abruptly so we didn’t get closure for a few of the plot lines, like destiny being devon’s child and apollo supposedly being an amazing dad but he gave up immediately at the end and just never talked to her again? the doctor disappearing? some of the bulk of this story could’ve went to expanding on those things
