I’m baffled. Once again Adam has brought me to tears, broken my heart and then glued it back together with a beautiful ending. I definitely didn’t see it all coming. Especially everything with Paz. I don’t know what to say honestly. It’s all just wow. I think I like this one better than Tbdate honestly. This one feels less rushed. Both are still super good tho. I really enjoyed making connections between the books and seeing their relationship evolve. The characters are so lovable (well all except one person but you’ll see that when you read it). It makes me happy to see that even people that didn’t enjoy Tbdate are enjoying this one. Personally I’ve enjoyed both and I’m excited for the third book!

Wow. I have fallen in love with the world that the first book was written in and this book brought so much more insight and depth to that world. The multiple perspectives and beautiful phrases made this book incredible. What a beautiful thing to feel this much emotion at leaving a book behind. I might be in a book hangover for a week but I will never trade it for not having read this piece of literature.
