Whew. I just finished the book and that was one of the best endings I’ve ever read. Although I found myself comparing this book to They Both Die at the End pretty often, and while I probably enjoyed that one more, this book is so much more inspiring and completely changed my perspective on life (again). It’s really one of those books that makes you sad but you’re okay with it because everything really is gonna be okay. I’m so thankful I read this  

and I’m ready to live for all the Valentinos that haven’t lived enough.

I enjoyed this. Not as much as the first one, but I did enjoy it. The characters were very sweet and lovable, I felt like at times it was just a bit too long and drawn out and a lot could’ve been cut, but it was nice all the same.

It would be a five star read if I didn’t feel like it was repetitive between Orion and Valentino. I loved the start of their relationship it was very cute and had me screaming.
I was really invested in the other storylines, especially as they started to converge, but tell me why the main couple was just very repetitive in the vocabulary/feelings portrayed. Maybe if I was more of a romantic and that way I would like it a lot more. I still cried at the end over everyone tho lol.
