This was still very solid, even though I rated the first one higher. The only thing was how willing Emma was to throw herself into danger so impulsively without barely any logic behind it. She puts her life in danger and with that, all those around her who care about her. But I can understand that her life is chaotic in the least and horrendous at most. I loved the progression to Travis and Emma's relationship, it just felt so wholesome which is perfect for both of their characters. Travis and Emma are just perfect and I love them so much. But they aren't perfect and that makes them feel even more real. Kristin was giving me weird vibes but I still love her as a character, even though, in my eyes she has nothing on my love for Simon. Simon is character gold and throughout this whole experience I know I'd fall for his charm and end up being one of his victims. He is just so funny and I love his obsession with Emma. Even in the end, although nobody could tell either way, he didn't want to hurt her. He just thrives off the chaos. I know there needs to be a resolution but I never want Emma, Travis or Simon to die.  I am so attached. SO ATTACHED. Ellie Marney, please let Simon and Emma have their croissant picnic, I don't know why but it's important. I love this series.
