★★★★✰

Okay, I can't really give it a five stars but it is worth the four.

Sunny, I know you will never read this, but you broke my heart.

Darrel, you two , don't worry.

Normally I don't like found family tropes but god it is good. Sunny is really A SUNSHINE LIKE. This girl kept her chin up whenever Darrel insulted her and I really admire that. Plus not a lot of bullies regret that much and I felt really bad for her when she learned the truth..

Of course, I felt bad for Darrel, he lost her sister and got bullied by the love of his life ( by accident ). and I really admire him for not breaking down and forgiving her. His love were so hard, strong and powerful he just told her IN FRONT OF HER MOTHER HE LOVED HER FOR GOD SAKE. I want a man like that in my life.

Finally, I feel like I must talk about Bailey and Michael. These kids are incredible and though but it made me smile so much when Sunny coaxed them that easily compared go Darrel.

Just go read that book if you haven't.

fav quote:

" Hi Mrs. Quetzal, I'm Darrel Hastings and I'm... in love with your daughter"

I liked this one more than the first book I felt like they had more connection but I still feel like the relationships are poorly developed and lack depth. There is no real conversation about the issue or actual work being done to change besides saying they’ve changed and instantly forgive one another. I also feel like so much of the relationship/interest is focused on physical attraction and not on the actual person. I also didn’t really understand the build of Darrel he just wasn’t interesting.
