I enjoyed this one more than the first, and am finding myself consuming Shain Rose's works at a slightly alarming pace. I wish that their relationship had developed a bit more over time, rather than having such a large gap between pre and post college, but I understand the plot reasoning behind it. 

I also wish that she had never questioned her sisters sobriety. I know that is not a huge point in the book, and she does feel bad about it later, but man, as a twin I just can't imagine not knowing when they're high and then blaming them for stuff before even asking for an explanation. I think that her staying strong by her side might've even made Izzy's story in the third book that much better. 

I loved these two characters together, though Dante is hardly anything like what he was presented as in the first book. That's ok, I just had to tell myself he was an entirely different person haha.
