This was an alright follow up to the first book. Much less plot going on and more so to just give readers more Atlas and Lilly content. I wish there had been more conflict or plot besides random bits of Ryle. It was also pretty cliche in how it talked about the dynamics of domestic violence this time around, which was a change from the more nuanced ways it tackled the subject in the first book. Highlight of the book for me was
Atlas's brother and mother involvement.


All in all it was okay to read but pretty clearly just written to give fans more of Atlas and Lilly.
