A decent follow up but didn't have quite the same punch as the first one. Amber and Jackson continue to both be despicable, vile people.

I liked it — Daphnes story was by far the best for me. It was interesting to get the one Jackson chapter too. I like how it all tied together but the end left us wanting more

Better than the first book for sure! Amber is still insufferable but at least some justice was served in this one

The ending felt fairly predictable and a certain person’s actions felt like they were taken from the first one and reused here. Some of the decision making was just completely absurd it was hard to keep reading. The ending felt like it wrapped everything up nicely though. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ surprised and ecstatic by how much I enjoyed this sequel!  While the abusive-Jackson details and scenes were a bit repetitive, the new characters and business antics kept this super fast paced and with unique substantial spin to the Parrish “family” drama.  The way Daphne fights and thinks for her children is truly remarkable and heart warming - you are captivated by her and cheering for her as if you’re riding shotgun with her yourself.
