Invitations (Girls Weekend #3)

First 2 books of Girls Weekend are one of my faves, but this one... I don't know.
I'll get into details below, but non-spoilery thing is the sheer number of typos and sentences that didn't make sense to the point I was wondering if this is an ARC uploaded by mistake...? Dunno.
Spoilers ahead.
I'll start with my biggest issue, which is Silva and Tate's storyline. I know it's readers' favourite, but to me, they're simply aggravating. Their whole plot is based on miscommunication trope (hello, avid romance reader in book 2, Silva!) and daydreaming about the same things through 3 books straight, which makes it unbearable. Tate is this mysterious guy, we get it, but it's been over a year: can you two just please talk? Your "problems" would be solved instantly.
And then, the cherry on top, our FMC starts vomiting - yeah, we all know what it means and I really hoped to be wrong :( Accidental pregnancy is hated almost unanimously.
Also - I get biting, but biting one's clit until it bleeds give me strong Haunting Adeline vibes, which was so weird in this rather sweet romance series.
I really liked how Silva developed as a character through the 2nd book, but in Invitations there's no growth to speak of.
Lurielle mainly bored me with wedding preparations, but the cameos from other books were a nice addition. I thought we'd get more wedding itself, but what we got was actually lovely and moving, so that's a good thing.
I was looking forward the most to Ris' story, but in general she treats Ains like shit and then is very surprised that he pushes back. I really loved to see more interactions between Tate and Ains and what we got made me laugh out loud, so my appetite got somehow sated :D
All in all - there are many words in this book, but not much plot or character development to speak of. The characters became so self-centered in such a short span of the story, that I don't recognize them.
Silva's MIA and no one gives much shit, Lurielle has a whole wedding to plan and no one to help her, and Ris, who didn't have problems with boundaries is swarmed by her bf to the point she didn't notice either of it?
I don't buy it :D
I'm looking forward to the series finale in Autumn :) I hope that we get to see the girls that are actually friends again :)
