This book is definitely different from #1 in tone, much more somber, in pace, slow, and the characters (especially Belly), felt much more annoying. Instead of a carefree summer YA romance, this finds everyone grappling with devastating circumstances. Parents and kids are fighting, there's underage drinking. It's a sad book. And I was feeling like it was just an entire filler book and I didn't know if I felt like finishing the last book. But it leaves you really wondering.... So I will cross my fingers characters grow up a lot and the ending is worth the slog that was book #2.

THEY DID SUSANNAH DIRTY! I knew what was going to come of Susannah's character in this book and I thought it was going to be really sad. When Belly was just like "Susannah is dead" I was so upset.

Susannah deserved so much more for her character. I really enjoyed still following the story of Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad and thought this storyline was really good. Similar to the first book, I often felt like the timeline was confusing with the flashbacks and felt like I had whiplash with how some of the parts just jumped from one thing to the next. I enjoyed this book a little more with the storyline but overall, I still feel like these books are missing huge pieces of their storylines.

Sexual content is just in dialogue, nothing but kisses described and very few details, felt about the same as book 1, more underage drinking than book 1
