I have tried my best to behave and read these before I watch season 2. So I have no idea what happens in the show (I say this because it seems like a lot of other reviewers compare this to the show).

Two very important things:
1) The banter/dialogue made me laugh out loud, multiple times
2) I was actually giddy over the early romance

The fact that the above two things are true forgives a lot. I love a romance that can do the above, and it’s so rare to find.

With both this and the first, I feel like it’s wrapped up too quickly. We scarcely get the emotional payoff and it’s straight to the epilogue. I appreciate both Kate and Anthony’s trauma they can work through together, but it still feels like it’s just lacking some meat. I don’t know. Still fun, and I’ll definitely read the next one.

Al principio no me estaba cautivando y pensaba que prefería la adaptación de la serie de Netflix (me pasó esto ya con el primero). Pero conforme he ido avanzando, este me ha acabado gustando más que el anterior y me ha encantado la manera de retratar los miedos y superación de estos mismos.

Once again I think the show did a much better job at giving the characters and plot depth than the book. I found the explanation Anthony’s inner turmoil done and Katie’s lacking a logical place in the narrative.
