2.0

just to preface, this book has a lot of triggering content so make extra sure you're okay with reading this before you pick it up. ronan and teal were definitely more interesting and likeable as characters but i don't like the way their trauma was written. it felt like a cheap prop and attempt at using shock value to keep readers interested and i wish sensitive topics like these were given more effort + respect. the pacing of this book was odd too, again it was riddled with spelling/grammar mistakes, but it might just be because it's on the shorter side so it felt rushed. i did enjoy this more than all the other books in this series though.
