Destructively Mine was a serious level-up from book one for me. Everything just flowed better this time around—the pacing felt tighter, the emotional beats hit harder without dragging, and best of all, the side characters really came to life. It felt more like an ensemble cast now, and I loved that shift. There’s still angst, but the story moves. I wasn’t constantly waiting for something to happen—it was happening the whole time.
Rocky and Phoebe still have their beautifully tense, complicated thing going on (they’re allergic to a smooth relationship, clearly). I did like that they were together finally and we could see less fighting and more of their dynamics with the other characters.
I liked the group scenes a lot. Everyone had a role, and even the chaos felt intentional. The Hailey/Oliver/Jake situation got me really excited. I’m hoping they end up being throuple and not a love triangle. I wish they had their own books (maybe in the future).
This one didn’t just improve on book one—it made me more excited for the series as a whole. The world feels bigger, the characters more tangled, and the emotional stakes keep rising. Can’t wait to see where the fallout lands in the next one.

The 2 books are good, I’m invested in the characters and I’m pissed of at what Trever did but whatever. I will read the next books when they come out but it’s not the best thing in the world

I really enjoyed the first book, but this one kind of fell flat for me. There was a lot going on, and it probably could have been shortened.

I really liked the first book and couldn't wait for book 2. It didn't really live up to the hype.
