3.5

I much preferred the first book in this series to the second. There's no real rhyme or reason to why, I just did. 

  • It felt a little bit repetitive at times. Luc and Olive were almost constantly at odds about something, and, while I think this was the point (due to the nature in which the book ends) I found it a little bit overwhelming and stressful at times.
  • Unfortunately, I knew how this book was going to end due to spoilers. I think the ending would have been that much more shocking for me if I hadn't known. 
  • I loved, loved, loved Luc's relationship with Bridget throughout this book. While the last book made the side characters feel a bit like caricatures, I think that she really came to life throughout this novel! 
  • The conversation surrounding grief in this novel is beautifully complex. As devastating as it was to listen to, I loved every second of that aspect of the book. 
  • Still adore the narration style of this book.
