This book could have been so much shorter. If you're very attached to Eden, this book is great. However, it's very slow if you just liked the first book and were curious to see how the sequel was. It was much more focused on Eden and Josh than the trial with Kevin too. I'm especially disappointed that we didn't even learn if he was found guilty or not. I liked reading her story and I'm happy about the way she turned out, I just think this book could have been much shorter.

I received this ARC from the bookstore where I work, and immediately started reading it while still on my shift. I’ve been waiting for the sequel patiently and it was everything I wished for and more. This sequel and the first book mean so much to me, I see myself in Eden and her experiences and growth in this book moved me to tears. This is such an amazing book and an incredibly important story I think everyone should read!
