So awesome to get different views and background information from some of the bi-characters, as well as Hardin’s side of the story since it was only told from Tessas perspective in the first book!

I did find Molly’s story kinda boring and confusing (and her actress’s voice a bit il fitting) but other then that the whole story was quite comical and emotional at times. Great additional book!!

I love having some more insight to four other girls in Hardin's life.... Natalie, Molly, Melissa (Dan's sister), and Steph. I especially love Molly's chapter. It actually made me hate her a little bit less. Well I’m sorry to say but was a waste of time because only 10 chapters that are new from Hardin POV I’m so disappointed!!! I was extremely happy that it ended realistically when Tessa wouldn't marry him just because he changed.

I Feel A Bit Conflicted

It was really amazing explaining device that everyone had before they met Tessa and before everything happened. it was nice to get back stories behind the characters that weren't really mentioned love in the first couple of books like Marley said and with Christian.

Absolutely loved it
