this was so cute!!!!
i loved unsteady and really looked forward to the second book in the series. i am so happy and relieved to say i enjoyed it a lot as well!!
i initially thought this would be a continuation of unsteady. i wasn’t expecting this book to follow the same timeline, but i actually loved how it was like a behind-the-scenes from the crumbs we got in unsteady. like honestly not many authors can make the stories and characters captivating enough to have it take place in the same timelines, but peyton did!! *chefs kiss*
now onto ro and matty (aka freddy): my lovergirl and loverboy. they were so cute and i want them to be protected at all costs. the angst in their stories was so heartbreaking and i got emotional several times. i loved them both individually and even more together. two precious, wholesome cinnamon rolls. they felt like real, mature, and emotionally intelligent people.
i also just want to mention that the found family in this book is so special and sweet. ro, matty, sadie, rhys, liam and oliver, bennett, holden, and all the waterfell hockey team. i love them all so much!! ♡
this book had a lot of potential, and started off strong, but then it kinda just tapered off. the biggest issue for me was the whole focus on ro’s on-and-off-again boyfriend, tyler. the story focused a lot on the mess that was their “relationship” causing ro and matty to not even get together until like 70% into the story! the loser ex was just too much in this book that i got annoyed any time he appeared in a scene. also, the lack of consequences for all the antagonists in this story made me upset, especially with how it was all building up to some big takedown. idk i feel like there could’ve been more justice for ro and matty.
but even though ro and matty didn’t get together until 70% into the story, they were both so wholesome and endearing. their relationship never felt rushed or forced and i loved how they had an existing friendship built on trust and kindness. and the epilogue was so swoon worthy!!! i loved it so much. it was a perfect end for these two, though i do hope to see them in future books.
who’s next in the undone series? my money’s on bennett and paloma, and i really hope tor gets a book too.
special thanks to NetGalley and to Atria Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
