I still don’t know what to think about these books but I started this as soon as I finished magnolia parks so obviously I am compelled to read!

I feel like the format was v similar to the first book which was a bit annoying. I also wish the characters were a bit older.
I liked Christians POV after meeting him more in the first book and liked the added drama of the gang lifestyle.

I do wish more actual descriptions and fleshing out of the characters happened rather than telling us what they’re like. It feels a little superficial and I don’t get why people are so in love with these people because they’re mostly vapid and not v 3 dimensional.
But I’m reading it so 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

They could do with another edit, some plot holes and it’s longer than it needs to be but it’s an easy read
