Me encanta que Neil se este haciendo a la realidad de que tiene una familia y que todos se esten dando cuenta de que, efectivamente son familia. Que vayan conociendose y curandose juntos. Les quiero mucho, a todos y tengo ganas de que le den de hostias a riko y a su tio.
La escena de accion de gracias es sin duda de las escenas mas duras que he leido, el punto de vista de Neil es aterrador y es asi como lo hace llegar. A pesar de que no me gusta como han querido llevar algunos temas, esa escena es muy cruda pero necesaria para el punto de la trama.
Espero leer pronto a Andrew y al equipo de vuelta. 🖤

Honestly didn't expect such a good sequel to the first book, which was too unorganized. Im still not the biggest fan of the writing, but it's decent. The book solved a lot of issues I had at first, especially regarding the characters. You could definitely feel that the author invested way more time into the sequel.
The dynamic is even better now, after we finally got some reasonable explanation on why some of them act the way they do. But I wished that the mc would've gone at least once to the psychiatrist like the other characters did, because those were my favorite interactions.
The coach Wymack definitely is my favorite character and the scene at the end broke my heart.
Neil, Wymack called him, even when he looked like this, even with his father's face and his father's eyes and the Moriyamas' number on his face. Neil, Wymack called him, and more than anything Neil wanted it to be true.
He stopped fighting to get free; the hands that had been trying to wrench Wymack's arms off him now held on for dear life. "Help me," he said through gritted teeth. "Let me," Wymack shot back, so Neil closed his eyes.
He was their family. They were his. They were worth every cut and bruise and scream.
All in all it was way more devastating than the first book that I had to put it down twice, just to organize my thoughts and stare into my wall for 10min.
