broke my heart into pieces and the worst part about that is my favourite characters in this book would hate that about me.
(this is me on the verge of a break down I'll come back and so a proper review maybe lmao)
I can not form words. I literally have nothing to say except that I love my babies and all these weirdly adorable moments in the book is making me tear the fuck up and the third book better be good to them THEY DESERVE HAPPINESS GIVE THEM A BREAK
Moderate: Drug use and Sexual assault
Minor: Abandonment and Child abuse

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.
