A fun and fast read. Nothing too spectacular but then it is YA so I went into it with this mindset! Fast paced form start to finish but I don't think I'll feel inclined to reread it.

Absolutely amazing read! The first 70 pages were tough as it is a different writing style to what I'm used to, the notes were hard to get used to and I struggled to understand the time jumps to begin with. Once we hit 100 pages in I was hooked and couldn't put the book down.

Absolutely brilliant second book in this trilogy; and with a massive twist or two at the end! I can't wait to read the final book as it's been set up to open with a bang!

4.5 stars! 
I'm so happy that this book started right where the first book ended. Whilst I didn't feel it was quite as good as the first it didn't get marked down by much. I loved the journey that Johnny and Shannon went on and absolutely adore John and Edel. It was heart wrenching and heart warming, sometimes all at the same time. I look forward to delving into joey and Aoife's story
