Loved the characters and the overall story but found some of it a little flat.

Wow! That one was nearly as wonderful as Carry the Ocean! I love Emmett and Jeremey!

I enjoyed this book, but I think I enjoyed book one more. I did love seeing how the community of Rosevelt House was getting together and how Emmet and Jeremey still supported each other.
Mai was so cute, and I loved Neil.
I do wish there was an epilogue to this story, like their wedding or something. But overall this like the first story was very up lifting and heart aching in the causes they were trying to fight for.
Even with the outcome of the bill they still showed they could make a difference when coming together.
Loved these two books and hope that Darren has a book or even David. But I’ll have to look more in to it!
Iggy Toma did a great job like in book one, so you have two great audio books to pick up if that is what you are searching for.
Overall I loved how the author showcased different disabilities and showed how our society sees them as less, but those individuals know they are worth more than how they are perceived. Loved this story and message.

A strong sequel showing just how much Emmet and Jeremey are tackling their challenges despite some setbacks but also with many wonderful wins.
Cullinan is typically never without a social message, so if you know that going in, this was no different. Admittedly, this was heavy handed at times, showcasing what is probably reality for many people who are not deemed “normal”, who have personal struggles and disabilities that make it difficult to live fully realized and fully deserved lives.
What makes this a success is Cullinan’s ability to still weave a touching love story throughout the struggles that Emmet, Jeremey, and their many friends face. Though I don’t often like stark reality in my romances, this still moved me many many times and for that, it deserves the accolades it has already gotten!

I didn't think it was possible but I loved this book even more than the first one!! I cried, I laughed and I cried some more, but right now the smile on my face is bigger than ever because of that perfect ending.
I am going to miss Emmet and Jeremey so much! I seriously need a third book. Pretty please?

Eh, this book was just okay. It felt like a lot of the same things were being said (about autism/depression) that had already been discussed in the first book. There were parts that were really interesting/fun/sweet, but mostly this just felt a little boring. My love for the characters didn't carry me through the plot unfortunately.

Did not enjoy as much as the first, but this was a decent sequel. It introduced some new characters for the series, and had a decent story to tell. Overall, I enjoyed it, but I wouldn't reread it.
