The first book is one of my favorite books ever so I was extremely terrified of reading this sequel. I've loved Ari & Dante for years. They are apart of me in ways I will never be able to fully explain. The potential of this sequel being bad left me slightly afraid.

But I'm pleased to announce that I liked it! Loved it! Nowhere near as much as the first, I will admit. And I personally feel certain moments and things felt a bit off. There were definitely parts I didn't love. But overall I'm happy with this. And I am, of course, also grateful I was able to read about two of my favorite boys again!! I missed them so much!
