Ughh, there's a second book too.
And...there are...more books.
๐ŸƒInitially...
Again, it's so loong.
It's much more repetitive here. Too much.
What I especially I didn't like in these two books were the language in which it was written- it's just not my type, and it's disturbing for me (just saying-), the vocabulary is quite colourful, especially, when Gibsie and the rest of Johnny's friends are around. It's definitely not what I look for when I want to read.

๐ŸƒTwo days later.... ๐Ÿฆ—๐Ÿฆ—
Umm, I finished it. *looking sheepishly around*

If this book could be compressed (or both the books compressed into one single book of around 400 pages?), and its vocabulary could be altered, I think I would like it, more. I think this book was, I'm admitting it- it was funny somewhat towards the end, it was cheesy and cozy. I'm surprised to say-I liked this more than the first book, a tiny bit more. 2.125โญ
I think we get to know more about their families here, which made it better- I think.

However, I didn't really like the way their relationship started, as I mentioned in the Binding 13 review of mine.
