I enjoyed this book, BUT my only critique is that it could have been a part of the first text. It really didn't need to be a second book. The story was engaging and I loved the ending.

This one felt rushed. Things were happening so suddenly.

I enjoyed the first one better. This one wasn't as engaging as the first one.

I’m glutton for punishment by continuing to read this series. It’s interesting to me, that the best characters in this book are white women.  (My opinion)

I feel similarly about this book as I did about the first but at least the first had a cliffhanger that made you a bit curious about this one. This is a good passive read, nothing too deep or mind blowing. I didn’t feel deeply connected to the characters whatsoever it was almost like watching a random movie that comes on TV that you never bother to remember the name of. I felt that Tabitha (the main character) was so doubtful of herself throughout the us book that it was frustrating. “How could such an ambitious woman with such a successful career doubt herself this much?” I found myself wondering more times than I can remember. It didn’t seem to fit her archetype but I’m not the author. I would say not to read this book, it just simply lacked depth for me personally.
