Reader beware. If you’re diving into Exodus hoping for more of the magic that was Cecelia + Sean + Dom… prepare to have your heart ripped out, set on fire, and tossed off a cliff. This book gutted me—truly, unexpectedly, and relentlessly. Kate Stewart’s writing is beautiful, raw, and emotional. But the direction this book took? Devastating in a way that felt more cruel than cathartic. I kept waiting for the trio to come back to life, for something to redeem that connection, and it just… didn’t happen. I get that this was meant to be a love story in layers, but the part I deeply loved was left buried under grief and betrayal. It gets 2 stars because it made me feel everything, but mostly because I’m deeply mourning the story I hoped for 💔💔💔💔💔 If I could do it over, I’d stop reading right after Cecelia and Dom’s date in Flock. That’s where the story ended for me. If you loved their connection even a little, my advice is to close the book there and imagine your own ending 😭 Would love an alternate version from that point on.
