This book was okay, nothing more. There were some parts that were flat out sexist. There was the transphobic brother. I don’t know why that storyline was added other than to make Ari look like a saint. I hate how it was mostly just Ari, hardly any Dante. Ari was made to be too perfect. There were a couple moments I liked. Like the last thirty pages. I loved the first book a lot and this really disappointed me.
