I loved this book so much!

I wasn’t sure of the main character, Peter, however. He was pushing away people all the time out of fear of getting hurt. However, he realized this mistake at the end. The way the author did it was just so amazing. It was perfect and tied everything together! I’d say the only thing I wish that had more attention was the weeks after Peter adopted Sliver. It feels like the author skipped out of it all to rush to an ending.

Either way, I love this book so much. It’s an amazing sequel to the first book, and I hope there’s a third. I’m glad I started the year with this book.
