This was such an amazing book. It was definitely a page Turner. It had me curious, wondering just on the edge of my seat throughout the book and the plot twist at the end. It was again such an amazing book. My rating is 10 out of 10 now I need book 2, so I can see what happens to all of these characters in this book. It was just great.

This is my first Ashley Antoinette book in YEARS! I listened to the audiobook and it was pretty good. I’ll share the things I enjoyed: ❥The beautiful wintry cover ❥The lifelong bond of friendship/sisterhood between these women ❥Cassidy ❥Cassidy and Ellie’s dad ❥The scene where Sloan leaves right out without question to help Brooklyn ❥The concept behind “before the street lights come on” - looking out for your friends and making sure they are good and safe ❣︎ There was so much that happened within the span of 1-2 weeks that much of it was so unrealistic! This is a very well-loved urban fiction so definitely check it out for yourself!!
