LOVED this sequel to the Bright Falls series. In Delilah’s book, I definitely wanted to know more about Astrid, and this was such a wonderful way to get to know her. In addition to having a dual perspective with the new love interest Jordan Everwood!! Hot but realistic smut, brief relationship angst but ends totally happy, lovely discovery of sexuality. I can’t wait to read more in this series!

10/10. Quick review: This is one of the fastest books I've read this year. I read over 100 pages in a day and stayed up until 3 AM reading (which is not normal for me). I relate so much to both Astrid and Jordan in different ways and I love them both so much. They are both so tender and vulnerable. This romance gave me all of the emotions. I was expecting more of Claire, Delilah, and Iris but also Astrid even admitted it is hard for her to confide in anyone about her feelings. I highly recommend and I will be reading the third book very soon.
