I liked it way more than book 1!
Maybe because it had more pages (around 80 more), I found that the characters were more developed and got more development overall, and it was easier for me to get attached to the MCs and their issues, but mostly with Matt.
The romance is really well done and I loved that this is about an open relationship between Allie and Matt, but also a polyamorous relationship building up slowly. It was really well done, it was open, understanding, based on mutual trust and conversation (which is needed in such relationship) so it was really nice to read all about it.
I only wished to get a bit more of 'after' : how their relationship went after that, without having this in a single epilogue?
Also would have loved more of Matt, mostly on his questionning. I would love to see him try a bit more, if he actually continued, how he was going about this, etc. There's a tiny indirect in the epilogue (well, I *think* it is implied?) but nothing more.
