Love love love. Just like the first book, I was so pleasantly surprised with just how much I enjoyed this story. Though, I do have to say that it’s a lot more complicated than the first book. Because of Susannah’s death, you get a lot more insight with who the characters turn into when dealing with loss, and also how they reciprocate feelings toward one another when feeling that. I’ve always been a Jeremiah stan through and through, and I’ll continue to be on his team, but experiencing Conrad deal with loss of a loved one literally with his mother and figuratively with Belly as she navigates her own feelings is surprisingly emotional, and I can’t help but empathize for him in all the things he must be feeling. I’d definitely say it’s a lot less lighthearted than the first book, but also an excellent display of how even when you’re young, the span of emotions you feel can be so overwhelming, overwhelming enough to feel like your entire life is being thrown off course. Love how the characters are slowly developing, and how the writing seems to be growing up as they do. It really offers an excellent perspective into their separate stories. Can not even express how much I loved this book, would HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this series.

After reading the first book in this trilogy and watching the new Amazon TV series, I decided to give the rest of the trilogy a try. I am sadly a bit disappointed in this book after how much I enjoyed the first series of the show. The show seemed to combine a lot of aspects from both books whilst making the cast more diverse and making the story (and Belly) more likeable. I felt like the story didn’t go anywhere – a lot of back and forth from Conrad to Jeremiah – with Belly complaining the whole time. I’ll finish the trilogy but I didn’t enjoy this book as much as the first book or the show.

Nobody told me that literally every character in this series was beyond insufferable. I’m not kidding literally each one of them made me so mad at some point during this story. I’m still lost as to where the hype is. Will I still force myself to read the last book so that I can find out how it ends? Of course but that doesn’t mean I will be happy while doing it lol.
