This book wasn’t bad per se, but it put me in a slump. The beginning was slow, the conflicts between characters unoriginal, and the climax didn’t really feel engaging? Lou felt like a whole different person than she was in book one. She just wasn’t as lovable? I understand that was part of the plot, but I just wasn’t loving it. Reid didn’t really get much development until roughly 300 pages in. It wasn’t all bad, the story was exciting here and there, but it definitely left me questioning whether the next book is worth buying.

Some people said this book was so slow compared to the first but I disagree. Reid and Lou’s relationship was so naturally depicted. Especially considering the traumatic and confronting things they were experiencing. The ending was heartbreaking.

There's a lot of miscommunication. I mean a LOT of miscommunication. Aside from that, if you liked S&D you will probably like this one!
