This is the second book of the series. In the second book Emma moves in with her mother, Rachel, but her life doesn't reach sunshine and roses.
While I recognised what other people were saying within the first and second book about them not being perfect, I saw both books as extremely touching. They both made me go through many different stages of sadness and annoyance. The ending in itself I found extremely heart shattering and a part of me wishes to pretend they reached a happy conclusion. I sincerely hope that the final book brings me closure.
If you've read the first book and you enjoyed it or want to know what happens in the next chapter of Emma's life, then this is the place for you. Once more, just like the first book, be sure to check for the content warnings as this is a very heavy read.
