Would have been better to have maybe total 4 books and do 4-5 in one and less of the hot mess stuff.
I read the buys point of views books after I finished the series and they read quite nicely. Added some different view point to it and I do not ever like or read the same books from other viewpoint. But since it includes different stuff from the initial books, it worked for me. Probably because of being 1st person.
I am also one of those that hates, totally hates triangles. I still don't read them or like them, this was the only series and it worked for me somehow.
Of course I started her other 2 series with other pubishers and it does seem to be a "thing" with this writer. At least one of the other series. The Ivy one I don't know yet.

I like love triangles but this was just a huge train wreck. I don't want to say the author seem to get lazy in book four and five but it just seemed like her heart wasn't in it. I wonder if she had intended a different outcome in the triangle but went with popular opinion to please fans or publisher which caused the problems in the last two books.
Another thing that really bother me was the heroine's character development. One second she was finally standing on her two feet the next she was whiny and seem to fall back in the damsel in distress mode.
