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.
