I loved this one so much more than the first one. I listened to the audiobook, which was fantastic. I found myself laughing out loud several times. Highly recommend.

Oh, Simon. Oh, Baz. Oh, Rainbow. Here I go again. Down the rabbit hole of wondering when and under what circumstances will I read y’all again? I am bereft of a universe in which I am always reading of these boys, these men, these lovely souls. Penelope. Agatha. Even young Shepherd. Oh my. So sad so thrilled at the same time to have been with them again for a bit. It’s always too short. Now I’ll envy those who’ve yet to read it. Heavy sigh. Book Three, wherefore art thou???
Heh heh.

3.5 stars. This was a fun read but I think it was missing something and it was just not as good as I was expecting it to be. I’m still going to read the next book though cause I love Baz and Simon!

Words cannot encapsulate my emotions, so I shall use song. [Opens the window and just screams for five hours]

I shall sit here consumed with emotion until book three.

Oh my god that book was so amazing. Except it left me feeling like all the hype was too much for the book that kinda seemed like a filler. I kept waiting for more but nothing big happened a lot of the time. Regardless I still loved this book and am excited for the third book to come out.

it was everything I expected it to be

Not as fun as the first… mainly due to the location change. They road trip across America and it’s definitely entertaining, but I miss the original UK vibe from the first one. It left on a cliff hanger so I will move on to the third one.
