📖 i didn’t love this one as much as the first, but i did really enjoy seeing the sisters reconnect and begin to understand each other. getting the sister’s pov added a whole new layer with her way of navigating the world is so different from alessandra’s, and i liked seeing how she grew into her own kind of strength. there were definitely some sad and emotional parts, especially when it came to her past. it’s a slower book overall, but a super quick read! the themes of healing, identity, and sisterhood were meaningful.
