This book was ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I HAVE EVER READ.
First of all, Nash and Lina? Absolute icons, both of them. They are just such unique characters whose stories and character development are amazing to follow, not to mention very entertaining. I love how they encourage eachother to get out of their comfort zones. They make a perfect couple. Beautiful.
Secondly, can we just talk about the small contributions to the first book of the series? "I was afraid I'd have to pull a Knox and carry you back." 😭 I adore them oh my gosh.
Also, I love how we can still see Knox and Naomi's story folding out eventough they aren't the main characters of the book. Not just their lives actually, but everyone else in town; even just Sloane and Lucian or Way.
Thirdly, the whole continuation of the Hugo Crime Family's plotline was so interesting and thrilling. It made the second part of this book just out of the world! I couldn't put the damn thing down!
Lastly, I loved the author's note at the end with Lucy explaining what the characters mean to her.
The fact that the lily of the valleys from the cover have such a deep meaning behind them absolutely warms my heart. ❤️
Thank you Lucy for writing this masterpiece!

It was a bit of a rollercoaster reading this one, in that it started off really good, I was hooked on the story. Piper was my favourite character but I really was invested in Nash and Lina’s relationship. The ended was shocked and explosive and done much better than the ending of TWNGO. Again it would have been 5 star, if it wasn’t for all the cliché speeches and advice being handed out. I’m all for a deep revealing epiphany but after a few motivational chats, I get the message and we can move on.
I would like to say that I was in awe that I didn’t predict the plot twist in this one though. I don’t know if I just wasn’t looking properly, but I didn’t see it before it all came together. It was very impressive. Can’t wait to find out what happens with Lucian and Sloane - just wish it wasn’t another 600 page book.
