characters think it's possible cheating

I enjoyed that Luc continued to grow and develop as a character in this book. I also think his friend group is fleshed out and less frustrating to read about. The ending, similar to Book 1, seemed a bit rushed and uneven.

I found Luc to be incredibly hypocritical, and it was frustrating that he acknowledged that and continued to give Oliver crap about doing exactly what he was planning on doing. It just felt very petty, as though he was upset Oliver stole his call-off-the-wedding thunder, and for me it didn't feel fair to Oliver that the book ended on such a note. Although, I guess I had similar feelings but flipped about the ending of Book 1 so perhaps it evens out??? lol

Cute, the ending stressed me out but the last page or so resolution did turn out well. They just really need to learn to communicate!

okay so for a lot of other people it seems that the ending was the largest issue with the whole thing, but controversially i thought that was fine, it was very in character. my biggest issue was the fact that i felt like i skipped four books between this first and second book because of that two year time jump, i feel like luc was missing a lot of dimension in this book, but i would also pay lots of money to have this book from oliver’s point of view, because he is genuinely an interesting character. overall it just felt a bit incomplete to me, i did actually love the message it was trying to send but i don’t think it ever got the chance to expand on the conversations it was trying to open.
