I didn’t expect this book to break me like it did. I feel like a completely different person after putting this book down. There is so much more to Exodus than an emotional romance. It’s commentary on morality and ethics and the intensity of love (at any age) is what has made this my new favorite book. If you’re going to read this book, be prepared for more than you’re expecting.

Let me just say that this series (so far) has wrecked me. While I feel so sad for Dom, I freaking love Sean and I just wish we had more Sean content 😭😭 the first time I’ve ever loved the blonde sunshine boy but goddamn do I love him. This would be a 5 star if I didn’t hate Tobias so much, I fell in love with Sean and Dom so quickly and easily, Tobias just felt very forced and I wish we would’ve gotten more from the boys. 
But overall, I really did enjoy this book. The ending was definitely rushed and seemed kind of thrown together,

I was definitely okay with them not being together. I loved that Cecelia finally gave herself permission to move on, and honestly I’m kinda bummed it didn’t stay that way. Probably would’ve gotten more stars if it did.

I'm still not sure I like this series, it was pretty emotional and made me stressed. I did prefer this book to the first, still didn't really like Sean, he's protections. 

It seems like most of the problems could have been solved with *communication*
