This book was fine. I felt that the ending wasn’t super satisfying though. I listened to it in one day because I was doing an art project, but if I hadn’t been listening to it, I would not have finished it very quickly. I love Atlas and Josh, though!! Also, something that really bugged me in the first book and a little in this one….there was no therapy. Ryle is a neurosurgeon and Lily owns her own business. They had MORE than enough money to be able to afford marriage counseling. I feel like that would have solved so many issues before they even began, and it made me very angry that therapy was never even mentioned until <spoiler: Lily demanded Ryle go to anger management classes.>
