I  must admit it took me a bit longer to get into this one compared to the first one, but I ended up loving it just as much. Bobby and James' story was full of funny, tense, heartfelt, sensual, and sad moments. I also loved how much their cousins, Beth and Gwen, were featured in this story. This book also made me even more of a Meredith fan. She's awesome.

While I think the plot of the Medical Act discussed some important topics, I must admit it went into too much detail. The pace of the story was affected by the politics of it all. 

Apart from that, I really enjoyed the banter, the pining, and (understandably) the anxieties surrounding a relationship like theirs in that period. It was so much fun to read, especially the second half. I was giggling and kicking my feet because they were so damn cute, but also tearing up because of how much I felt for them. If you liked the first one, you will love spending more time with this crew.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon for providing a review copy. This book comes out exactly one month from today, August 27th! I already pre-ordered my physical copy and can't wait to add it to my collection.
