I feel exactly the same with this book than with the first one. a literal 50 percent was pointless. the first part is only character driven and the fact that the author made stevie come back to her house was basically with the only intention of generating drama between the love interests. HOWEVER after
ellie's body was found
the plot started to move forward and I LOVED it. the cliffhanger......amazing. I feel like they solved a lot of mysteries from the first book and I also felt like the ellie and hayes thing is definitely not over. I'm totally continuing this series. Also a special mention to Nate, the best character in the book hahahah I totally ship him with Stevie....which leads us to David. I don't get him. in the first book I was soooooo sus of him and i still am. let's see where this goes
