Ah, the Alexis Hall effect of making me fall absolutely in love with a couple in the first book and then turning around and making me hate them in the next. I can’t believe I sat through all of that for those idiots to not get married anyway. I sat and stared at the wall for a bit after the ending because I’m that salty about it.

The way this book made me despise Oliver. Because why was he picking fights with Luc in every single chapter? I’ve always loved Luc, but he definitely had a lot of moments in the first book where he was being an idiot and Oliver was right to put him in his place. But in this book, it just felt like Oliver was constantly looking down on Luc and literally everything he did. The negative mood just made reading this book so hard, it was just a chore. I hated almost every second of it. There wasn’t even as much humor as the first book, and sometimes even when Luc made jokes they were halfhearted because he was being shit on all the time by everyone, but especially Oliver.

I think the heroes of this story were Bridget and Priya. They were the only ones who made this book bearable and gave me some laughs. Even Luc’s mom drove me crazy. I just can’t believe Alexis Hall tanked this series so hard this book after the first was so, so good. Ugh.

Someone please remind me when the third book of this series comes out to NOT READ IT. Although I probably will because I’m a masochist.
