I wanted to love this sequel as much as I did the first but I couldn’t see the chemistry between Milo and Jasper as well I had with Conrad and Alden. I thought this was a cute summer read and I’ll probably read more of Albert books, especially if she writes more in this series (maybe a story for the professors or April?). I wasn’t the biggest fan of the second half of the book though, because there seemed to be a huge emphasis on needing to come out to have your gay relationship be significant and that felt triggering to me but I guess to each their own.
