This is a collection of three short stories and I'm glad it exists because I've been waiting for the next book in this series for way too long and it's still more than a month and a half away.
Aron and Wyatt's story is something I had already read before but I didn't mind getting a refresher. But I was never a fan of either of the characters due to the way they treated Noah in book 2, so I was okay with this story but didn't feel attached to it much.
It's finally good to see Ash and Max together because it was really obvious in Deke. Their story was definitely very emotional and made me weep, but the Stromberg family was always on hand with their inappropriate jokes to lighten up the mood. However, I was mostly just very happy to get another glimpse of Ollie and Lennon because I really love them so much.
Marty and Luce's story was interesting, very sweet and adorable with a bit of angst and I really enjoyed it. It actually took me a while to realize that the lead singer Jay of band Radioactive is actually Jet and then I couldn't believe that I didn't recognize the smartass. However, it only makes the wait for Hat Trick more excruciating and I just want his book in my hands already
