A great book that made Ari & Dante's story feel complete. Though it was kinda lenghty and the messages a bit repetitive, I am still happy to have read this masterful sequel.

Oh I loved this book. I think it might have been even better than the first one--it certainly made me more emotional, and touched me in deeper places. I looked at the content warnings partway through the book because I wanted to be prepared for if a certain thing would happen, and those made me realize a different thing would happen. Even knowing that, it really got me and I was so wrecked by it. Overall though this book is beautiful and hopeful and real.
