This one is fine - it's just fan-service for those who loved It Ends With Us, and it reads like it.
You should read this one directly after It Ends With Us, if possible, because this book cannot stand on it's own. Its a sequel, but even then it really doesn't have a plot of it's own, or any sort of character development. It feels more like it's an extended epilogue.
There is so much repeated in this book from It Ends With Us - they just reuse a lot of the journal entries so that Atlas can finally read them. I read the books a couple years apart, so I needed the refresher, but it really adds to the feeling that this book was padded out so that it could be a full length novel. Again, can't really stand as it's own story.
It's nice to have a real ending to the story, but you're not really missing anything if you don't pick this one up.
