Was more entertaining than the last one but only because shit just kept getting worse. I felt pretty much nothing after the ending. Not much else to say

Was really boring and I didn't like the mc in the first half. It picked up closer to the end but still pretty mid to me

Pretty fun. Got annoyed at Rico sometimes but mostly I felt she was reasonable. Kinda unrealistic but ehhh who cares

Ok I'm ready to rate this now. First of all this book almost made me cry. I was so emotional (which is rare for me.) The characters are really the star's of this novel. Of course the plot is interesting as well, but the way characters come to terms with trauma and grief really resonated with me. 5 stars!

This feels like a part of one book so I'll read the sequel and rate this then. I like the book so far though

So cute! The characters are well developed and liveable, and the plot stays interesting throughout. The only thing I have to say is that Steven's ending was a bit anticlimactic. I think it deserved a little more attention, but other than that I loved this novel!
