I CANT BELIEVE THE BOOK JUST ENDS LIKE THAT whoa I haven’t screamed about a cliff hanger in a hot minute. I need to catch my breath.
Overall same level of writing as book 1, I’d say this is almost a 4 star read but some of the writing style is a bit blah, so ya know.
I definitely enjoyed this book more than book 1 because it’s finally giving me the growth that made me like Lily a lot more. The therapy, support system, and up and down of Lily’s recovery was really well done and helped me understand sex addiction a bit more.
I think the only part of this book that confused me was the flashbacks to early-fake-dating Lo and Lily, because they were waaaay more horny than I thought they had been in book 1. But looking back, I did think it was strange of Lo to constantly be trying to make Lily horny in book 1 when they’re supposed to be fake dating, so maybe this insight into the origin of their relationship helps explain why they were the way they were.
Overall, not bad. Cant believe how hooked I am on this whole dynamic and how badly I want everything to work out for the gang 😭
