A LOT TO UNPACK. A tissue box is needed. A blanket is needed. Some comfy tunes/tiktoks will 100% be needed. Be prepared to just feel a crap ton and just have it all come out onto the table. Melissa does a fantastic job with this story in particular because I generally don't enjoy books that head down this path, but quite a remarkable one indeed. I don't remember the spice in any of the books being too much or over the top, so if you're looking for more of a series that is heavy in the falling in love/drama/action rather than in the spice level then I'd say this series does a remarkable job at that.
