The plot is what I genuinely love about this book!

While I enjoyed the first book in the series, the characters in this one didn't captivate me as much.

I appreciate how the author reintroduced the characters from the first book to assist in this story.

I really enjoyed this book as a spin off sequel! I admit that I loved these characters more than the ones from These Broken Stars - and not just because the one character is Flynn and there are Irish references throughout! 😅
The plot, the forbidden love, it was all so intriguing. Of course it has sad moments and I felt so much attachment to these 2 characters... 

Also loved the little cameo!
Can't wait to read the 3rd book and finish off this trilogy!
