The way the toxic parents were handled did seem realistic and how the characters moved through the issues/progressed were stressful at times, If you've experienced these similar issues, but also relieving around any resolutions.
Happy to see the continuation of the characters from Icebreaker also making appearances.

Now I'll start with what I didn't like and go from there. Spoilers will be tagged !
As with the first book there was alot of sex. Like , A LOT lol. Now personally I don't have a problem reading through spices scenes and don't have the same problem as some people who think it's too much. What I don't like is the location of these scenes. I understand they have sex in staff majority places but children dont always follow the rules. The door to their cabins would be unlocked for obvious comedic effect of someone walking in but realistically those times could've been kids , that includes some other chosen locations. I just don't like how often they seemed to have sex in easy to catch places with kids at the camp , maybe the layout was misunderstood to me but idk. 🤷🏽♀️
As always , we've got ✨️parental issues✨️ , which my traumatized ass has no problem with but
I like how the communication of their trauma smoothly ties into their relationship. At the end of the day these are hurt people who are trying to heal , 3 months over YEARS won't solve it but it did a pretty good job.
"Guys , if we lose because you're all short and Aurora is a pig stealer , I'm going to be so pissed"
The communication in this book is heavenly to me. Problems get talked through and everyone holds their actions accountable, which reminds me that this is just a book lol.
"I'm watching you go in so you don't have to watch me leave." Was what fully sold me on Russ , his growth from the first book is astounding and I'm glad he learned to accept the love & family around him as Aurora did.
It's been months since I read IceBreaker so I wasn't sure if I'd connect but WHEW! The characters are loveable and hilarious as always , Xander and JJ really snuck into my heart and I hope Xander stays for the next book(?). Both old and new characters will make you laugh and make you want another story to see how their lives play out. I am kinda sad at the ending but it did make me happy still.
"I will spiral later , alone , like a regular person. Or if I'm feeling reall adventurous , I'll bottle it up and bury it deep down , letting it erupt at a much later , more inconvenient time"
