Alright, so, I feel like this book was really important for ALL the characters development. We saw them go through all types of things and how being sober from their addiction changed Lily and Lo's life compared to "Addicted To You"(book1). I had my suspicions about the leaker but never would've I had connected who it actually was. Maybe I should have had my suspicions when Jonathan refused to say the name but beat me, he hasn't been the most trustworthy character in the series. I was honestly really suspicious about Allison, Lily's therapist, but now I'm really happy she's back to her.. especially after what that fcker ,Dr Evans(?), tried to do to her. I thought they would show us a much more cruel reality when it comes to the press and Lily's addiction but we still have 2 books and the end of their deal with their parents sooo..yeah.
AND BRIAN, LOREN'S THERAPIST, I LOVE HIM. Like, we literally only had one scene with him but I hope we see more of them.
As for the relationships, I can feel the bond between Loren and Connor and Connor and Lily grows stronger. The next book is gonna be his, so I hope we get more of them. I loved the improvement of Lo and Rose relationship and how he defends her.
During their trip they depicted well, what Lo missed cuz he was drunk or in rehab, which I didn't expect. One thing about that trip that I liked was how Lo was the only one weirded out by Daisy and Rike. I don't really care about them and I find Lily's reaction to them funny but it's not like it's normal. Not for the age gap but only cuz despite being more mature than others she's still sixteen.
Another thing I loved was the development of Rike and Lo's bond. Especially that ending chapter after discovering the leaker identity 🥹.
Honestly I was planning on giving a lower rating cuz it took me a while to get through the first 50/60% of the book but I really liked the rest. It wasn't a 4 star but neither a 3 so, I think 3.5 fits it.

People weren't lying when they said things pick up once you get to the 3rd book. This was definitely better than the first two. There were more things happening plot-wise, there was more at stake, and alot more development and closeness of the characters' relationships.

I adored Loren's development from overcoming his addiciton as well as seeing his struggle to maintain his sobriety as well. And I love love love how he ADORES Lily and ultimately just wants the best for her. He was actually being the boyfriend that Lily deserves.

I also admire that we really got to see Lily struggle to get better. I've been rooting for her and felt sympathy for her since book 1. I can't wait to see her get better!

Again! Loved Rose and Conner (not that big of a fan of them individually, but they just work as a couple). I can't wait to read their book.

I really felt the friendship between the characters in this book and am gradually seeing the formation of "the core six". I also enjoyed them diving into their parental relationships as well. I can't wait to connect with the characters as much as everyone else does.

One thing that did aggravate me and something that I will never get over is Ryke and Daisy. They know how inappropriate their relationship is and yet the authors are gonna pursue them anyways. I just can't get behind it.

This book is my second favorite in the series so far. It focused more on how Loren and Lily had to help each other so they could each overcome their addictions. In Lo's case, he had to adjust to his not drinking, while Lily had to overcome her own addiction. There was also a sub-plot that I enjoyed, even if it was horrible for the characters. This book focused more on Lo's relationships with his family. And I quite enjoyed it. It showed the complex and toxic relationship he has with his dad, as well as the relationship he's building with Ryke. But this book was quite hard to read at times. It was, dare I say, darker than the others. It deals with sexual assault, blackmailing, substance abuse, child abuse, neglect, abandonment. It was dark. But so, so good.
