There’s so much drama in the last few chapters and honestly I was there for it… I didn’t want to go into too much detail about the drama that happens Because honestly it would spoil it but just know the parts I’ve mentioned are only a fraction of the stuff that happens in this book and I’d say it’s one hundred percent worth the read.
