Ethan and Naomi were both wonderful characters and I like that even though their mutual attraction was instant they took their time getting to know each other before things became romantic. No insta-love! That being said, also much less spice compared to The Roommate.
I found Naomi’s big speech at her high school to be awkward and out of place. I never really felt a big cathartic moment when the conflict was resolved. I’m also disappointed she didn’t start going by Hannah again, at least with Ethan. I just don’t think the book stuck the landing.
I kind of hate religion so I didn’t personally love the focus on it in the novel. In my jaded opinion, people should be leaving religion not rediscovering it lol.

I'm glad we got to revisit characters from the first novel in the series but loved the very different tone of this story. It had complex discussions of faith and self love.
The characters were surprisingly complex and flawed for a romance novel and I just love how there is so much slow burn tension built in what is actually a fast paced novel.
There were a few parts that the dialogue slipped and felt choppy, or characters had sudden/confusing responses.
