I loved her friendship with Ryke, even if he was distrusting of her in the beginning, and how he's there for her when Lo couldn't. I loved Ryke, quite frankly. He's doing his best to be there for his brother while he's in rehab, and for his brother's girlfriend while she's in recovery.
Rose was one of my favorite characters. I loved how she was a key part of Lily's recovery, as her big sister, and how she did everything she could to help her. Same for Connor.
I truly enjoyed it, and it made me emotional at parts.

Overall same level of writing as book 1, I’d say this is almost a 4 star read but some of the writing style is a bit blah, so ya know.
I definitely enjoyed this book more than book 1 because it’s finally giving me the growth that made me like Lily a lot more. The therapy, support system, and up and down of Lily’s recovery was really well done and helped me understand sex addiction a bit more.
I think the only part of this book that confused me was the flashbacks to early-fake-dating Lo and Lily, because they were waaaay more horny than I thought they had been in book 1. But looking back, I did think it was strange of Lo to constantly be trying to make Lily horny in book 1 when they’re supposed to be fake dating, so maybe this insight into the origin of their relationship helps explain why they were the way they were.
Overall, not bad. Cant believe how hooked I am on this whole dynamic and how badly I want everything to work out for the gang 😭
