This series has my heart now.
I love how this one went further into the personal repercussions of being a bully. Shoya isn’t a bully anymore—but does that matter to anyone else? How do you move forward when your past has defined everything for you for so long? How do you learn to forgive yourself when you believe you don’t deserve it?
These are just some of the incredibly important and powerful questions that this sequel asks. I can’t wait to see how the characters develop even more in the third book.
