Starting off from the tragic death of her father, Noah is preparing for the onset of campus life as a new incoming college student. Meanwhile Nicholas is continuing his internship at his dad’s firm, continuously trying to prove himself and show everyone that he doesn’t need his dad’s help. Both of them carry their own issues, Noah is plagued by nightmares and the demons that come with her father’s recent passing, and Nick is still afraid of losing Noah, and unsure how to help her with the issues she’s dealing with. As Nick tries to bring them closer together she’s pushing him father away and their relationship becomes rockier than ever, on the verge of falling off a cliff. And just when you think things couldn’t get any worse, Nicholas’ mother Annabel Grason appears, and drops more than one nuclear bombshell that leaves everyone questioning everything.
Mistakes are made, hearts are broken, and Nick and Noah will never be the same.

Más allá de no entender la necesidad, tenía curiosidad por ver qué camino tomaba la saga.
En "Culpa Mía" hay ciertos red flags que planteaban cuestiones sobre qué tan sana era la pareja, pero en esta entrega ya no quedan dudas. Ambos son tóxicos y toman malas decisiones, la cantidad de charlas que eligen demorar para no tener que lidiar con las consecuencias es alarmante. Aun así, le voy a dar crédito a la autora porque, en gran parte, siento que no lo está romantizando.
A pesar de eso, los dos protagonistas son insufribles y hacen que sea difícil interesarse por ellos.
Nick es un mal novio y mal amigo, miente y manipula a la gente que confía en él, se pone de centro en todo y culpa al resto de sus malas decisiones.
Noah por su parte, incluso cuando no es su responsabilidad, se siente culpable y le tiene miedo a Nick . Este libro es uno de esos casos en los que tratan de mostrarnos a los padres como los villanos, pero tiene sentido que estén preocupados.
En cuanto argumento, a pesar de ser un romance, hay muy poco que decir. Hay un plot twist con la madre de Nick que asumo que está para que haya un tercer libro.
Se lee rápido, pero tiene mucho relleno. Además de la historia de los padres, hay un par de líneas argumentales para sumar páginas que no llevan a nada: la nueva colega de Nick, Jenna y Lion peleados, el hermano de Lion, la vuelta a las carreras. Muchas cosas que podrían ser interesantes, pero se quedan en ser un detalle porque lo importante en el “romance”.
Entiendo que tenga su público, la autora escribe bien y eso hace que el libro no se sienta pesado, igual creo que no era necesario y me cuestiono que exista una tercera parte.
CW: abuso, violencia familiar.

"Culpa tuya" is the continuation of "Culpa Mia" a book that should be a stand-alone.
I felt the first one was OK, it has some red flags that could be not everyone's cup of tea but it was a run-of-the-mill kinda book.
This second part is something else. The romance is so toxic on both fronts. Half of the plot is them being awful to each other and making out.
It could be a shorter book and focus on the couple, and how they could be solving their issues. Instead of that, we have a lot of plot threads that lead anywhere just to pretend there is content.
On the bright side, it's a fast read. But it's not a good book. Do not waste your time.
CW: sexual abuse, domestic abuse.

I don't know what will happen in the next book, to be honest… Things are pretty screwed up rn.
Was it entertaining? Yes. Would I reread it? No.
