This book is a definite improvement from the first one. The author still needs a better editor and could benefit from some grammar courses (like the first book there is a severe overuse of em dashes and full on incomplete sentences). The last 50 or so pages make me forgive a lot- the story is not well written but it is really captivating and it  makes me want to keep reading the series.

This book—wow. Why did it take me so long to finish it?! This was really a rollercoaster of emotions and I was certainly not prepared for what was coming. It was written so freaking well! It was so, so good. Love, hate, everything. I wanted to trash the book (not really, love this baby) because SJM wrote it so well. Could you get through all the stages of happiness and grief in a minute. It's a ride, but it's definitely worth it. When you finished the first book, don't let it take too long to finish the second becauze I regret that part. Good thing though: I started my year and finished January with a really good book. I'm still utterly shocked that I don't know what to say except for that it was so good. And I will repeat that.
