I see why people really love this book. Definitely worth a read if your interested. But I really hated the 2nd person. I couldn't get used to it.

Great continuation to the stories! I'm enjoying reading about these characters. The plot felt a bit disjointed compared to book one but I still enjoyed myself.

This book was fine. The story moved away too fast and I'm not sure every part of the plot made sense.

This book was so cute! And I loved the world building! The romance felt sincere. My biggest issue was the ending was rushed.

This book was way too saccharine for my taste. The main character has the virtue of Jesus and is never in the wrong. There is way too much irrelevant yapping. And the ending was so dumb.
