What an amazing sequel to an already amazing beginning. I loved every part of this story, the mystery, the love story, the pining, the ins and outs. It was such a fun story and i absolutely can not wait until the third and final book drops in a couple of weeks.

I am unabashedly team Grayson. I know the past two books have been dedicated to developing Avery and Jameson but COME ON! When the author is so elusive and only throws us a bone once in awhile I get attached wayyy more easily than if there’s consistent action. It’s one of my flaws to be honest. I love this series so far, it’s so fun and incredibly satisfying to feel everything pull together. That said something is preventing me from falling in love with the books. Maybe it’s how fast I’m reading them or my preconceived notions. I’m also glad I’m late to the party and only starting this series now despite relentless recommendations. This way I can binge the entire series and not have to wait and forget important details like I had to with A Good Girls Guide to Murder. The quality has been super consistent with this series and I’m so thankful for that.

Absolutely no words. One of the best series I have read in a very long time. 
I am constantly trying to guess what will happen -sometimes I'm right, sometimes it's impossible to predict. 

I have so many theories. Can't wait for #3!

Surprisingly, I liked this book more than the first one. Now, I’m going to complain.

There is no way i’m going to believe that a family that powerful has refused to get the best therapy or any kind of help money can buy to deal with this horrible horrible trauma and guilt and loss and regret and god knows what else. They have all these professionals around them all the time and they think the thing that will help is pushing it down and larping an Agatha Christie book

The whole Eli and Mellie thing was so confusing not to mention throwing Eve in there, I have a feeling it’s going to matter somehow in the last book but it was almost too much all at once.

I am far more invested in whatever Xander and Max are insinuated to have going on than I am in whatever flippy-floppy Emily Laughlin relationship cosplay Avery is playing.
