Overall, I hated the book. I know Lily deserves her perfect ending especially with all the pain Ryle caused but I feel like It could’ve been easily shortened to an epilogue rather a full length chapter book. I don’t know why we got Atla’s backstory, or why his mom is suddenly relevant? I got so infuriated reading her chapters because she’s so rude and annoying. Plus, they keep saying the most cringe stuff and try to be cute, and the CoHo fandom eats it up as if it ain’t humiliating. “It is my wish, for you to my fish.” dear god.
I feel Atla’s character is only important to the story because he was Lily’s first love, and that’s it. He’s not really…interesting at all. I feel like the author justifies Atlas by saying “oh he would never hit a woman” which is great, but it’s like the bare minimum.
The babies name is what was going to make me throw this stupid book into a fire, I mean seriously Emerson Dory Kincaid.
Overall zero stars and its the LAST CoHo book I will ever read
