THE YEARNING IN THIS BOOK HURTS MY HEART. Luther must be protected at all costs. 

This book was definitely better than the first one. Diem still pisses me off and being in her head is actually painful. She’d dumb as hell and she needs therapy. A lot of it. The other characters introduced in this book really saved it.  I’m such a sucker for a found family. 

The actual plot was slow going and repetitive but the end made up for it. Also I’m so sick and tired of the miscommunication and misunderstanding. JUST TALK TO EACH OTHER, PEOPLE. GOD DAMN. ARE WE IN HIGH SCHOOL? I’m so over Diem always interrupting people when they are trying to tell her important shit. I get that it the author is doing it on purpose to make the book more “interesting” but holy fuck is it annoying. Diem just shut up for one god damn second. 

Please Diem have more character growth in the next book. I beg.

Fuck you Henri.
