HOWEVER, I enjoyed every second of it and I love these characters and they made me cry. It was nice to see Ari develop throughout the two books and even though I sometimes missed Dante I LOVED Ari's new friends.
I don't think this sequel existing necessary improves the story as a whole, but it was nice to be able to revisit these characters.

Being so serious, I haven’t cried like this in ages, but this book wrecked me. One of the most beautiful books I’ve read, maybe ever. I know I will carry this story and these characters with me for a very long time 🥹
