I enjoyed getting to know Jack and Jill a bit more. I found them to be interesting characters in the first book and wanted to learn more about them and their background which this book did.

I found it very interesting the book diving into the subject of people who never wanted kids having kids, because everyone else around them is and not being about to relate to them.

Préféré au premier. Jack et Jill etaient deux persos qui m'intriguaient beaucoup alors forcement un livre avec elle j'allais pas dire non. Et franchement j'adore. Si tous les livres ont une qualité superieure au précédent ça va vite devenir ma série fav

This makes me want to go back and read the first book again. I did get confused about who was Jack and who was Jill, but I got it eventually. I loved the found family (Dr. Bleak❤️), the love story (sweet Amelia), and the loyalty and love in Jack. McGuire’s writing is just so good.
