Omg omg omg this one was by far my favorite. And I don’t wanna sound basic bc everyone else says it’s their favorite too but omg I loved it. So much happened and I was always in the edge of my seat. We got introduced to two new characters that I’m already shipping #gillow and I’m so excited to read their books. Lo and Lily love each other so much and their vows literally had me BAWLING. I love this book with my whole heart.

Everytime I read another one of these books I am convinced it can’t get better, then it does😭 I really thought the last one was my favorite but this one was so good too. Rose and Connor and so adorable and my favorite part was when Rose would do the translations when he said something to her bc it showed how well they knew each other. I also loved how He made it a point to always tell her that she was safe with h. I think this book did move a bit fast but then I remember that they had been together for a year prior so it made sense. Over all love this book but I do not wanna read the next one 😭 I’m literally gonna be sick when Ryke and Daisy get together.

OMG IT WAS SO GOOD; I think this one was my favorite so far. Lily and Lo’s development, especially Lily’s, is so fun to watch I’m so proud of them both. Rose and Connors relationship is growing, and unfortunately so is Ryke and Daisy’s but I’m not even gonna get in on that I’ve ranted for two whole days about them atp I’m just gonna keep reminding myself that it’s just a book💀. I cannot wait to read Kiss the sky and see Connor and Rose’s relationship grow and to see inside their heads.

It actually wasn’t that bad I think I liked it better than the first one we got to see more of Connor and Rose and we got to see how Lo and Lily support each other through their sobriety/her abstinence. I’m feeling a little icky about Ryke and Daisy bc she just turned 16 and he’s 22 years old but hopefully nothing happens there for a while. Like at least until she’s 20

I love it I love it so much. I expected a bit more but I still fell in love with the story and I cant wait to read the rest. I loved watching how complex Lily and Lo’s relationship was my favorite parts were near the end when Lo realized that he needed to get his shit together bc he was hurting her. I also loved how the group didn’t mock her or belittle her addiction bc sex addictions aren’t usually taken as seriously. I love Lo and Roses/Ryke and Lily’s banter. And I love Connor he’s literally just there for the ride 💀 like he is literally just Roses hype man. I really hope Ryke and Daisy don’t meet till like way later bc he’s like mid 20s in this and she’s 15 😭 but yeah I love the book so far and I can’t wait to read the rest
