I want to love Lo without people telling me that our love is too much.

i am just breezing through this series, i'm obsessedddd.

normally, i get annoyed when mc's are split up and there's a lot of flashback scenes, but i think in the context of the story it really worked to help build the background to their relationship and made sense for what's happening. first book focused on the oblivious pining, this book hones in on their friendship over the years, which i feel like is only further cementing me rooting for them. and the present-time scenes w lo's dirty talk 🥵

again, connor provided some excellent comedic relief and stole the show, i'm loving his & rose's relationship. the only thing i didn't love in this book is the age difference between daisy & ryke and some of their conversations/bordering flirting that felt pretty inappropriate considering. i have seen that the authors say they wish now they had aged her up so i won't trip over it too much.

while i'm relieved these romance books are shorter, that abrupt end definitely has me running to the next book!

“You don’t make me miserable. You make me want to live. And I want to live with you.”

I definitely liked this book better than the first one. Lily’s conversation with her therapist near the end had me tearing up because I related a lot. It makes me happy to see characters grow, and I’m excited to read the next one. Really the only thing that knocked it down a star was Daisy and Ryke’s relationship. I can get down with a lot of stuff in romance, but a minor/adult is just not it. Even though they aren’t together (yet, I imagine it’s coming eventually), Ryke’s comments to Daisy were just inappropriate for someone in their 20s to say to a just-turned 16 year old.

When I read the SA part I was shocked.

"I woke up. To a sixteen-year-old groping me. I don't trust them. I almost got raped, Lily" and then Lily just laughs. A couple of pages later she's on the phone with Lo, she tells him what happened and Lo says "Ryke is scared of a high school girl. What a pussy" and then Lo laughs. Then effing Lily goes "That's mean to say about your brother" AS IF she didn't laugh earlier at Ryke

SA is not something to laugh at or make jokes about. This happens to men too.
