Good! Same issues as the first book though. Reallyyyy wish it had been more slow burn. And that they didn't immediately get MARRIED???? Oh my god??? We went from angsty to sappy SO quick like ew... And again I wish some things with their traumas and even their relationship had been more nuanced. Everything was very much "my dad was really hard on me so I have to be perfect" "you already are perfect he's crazy for not seeing that" like okayyyyy... (those quotes are paraphrased this time cause I don't feel like going back in and finding them).
Still, loved the characters, loved the plot, and loved the wound tending hurt/comfort. I just wish they'd been less sappy. Like. You can't be repeatedly screaming each others names mid-fight every single fight... It just makes it feel like young adult first love type of vibes, which does nottt make sense w the tone of the rest of the book (or, ya know, the smut).
