People weren't lying when they said things pick up once you get to the 3rd book. This was definitely better than the first two. There were more things happening plot-wise, there was more at stake, and alot more development and closeness of the characters' relationships.

I adored Loren's development from overcoming his addiciton as well as seeing his struggle to maintain his sobriety as well. And I love love love how he ADORES Lily and ultimately just wants the best for her. He was actually being the boyfriend that Lily deserves.

I also admire that we really got to see Lily struggle to get better. I've been rooting for her and felt sympathy for her since book 1. I can't wait to see her get better!

Again! Loved Rose and Conner (not that big of a fan of them individually, but they just work as a couple). I can't wait to read their book.

I really felt the friendship between the characters in this book and am gradually seeing the formation of "the core six". I also enjoyed them diving into their parental relationships as well. I can't wait to connect with the characters as much as everyone else does.

One thing that did aggravate me and something that I will never get over is Ryke and Daisy. They know how inappropriate their relationship is and yet the authors are gonna pursue them anyways. I just can't get behind it.

The series definitely improved. As I said in my first review, I am addicted and Im now am coming to terms with liking the books. 

This book still focuses on Lilly and Loren developing and growing. Although their relationship and growth are not what kept me reading. I just love all the side characters. They really bring the story to life. I am totally hyped to now read Kiss the Sky and especially Hothouse Flower.
