Loved the book but was disappointed in the plot a tad bit, wasn’t as event packed as the last! Also the ending was a bit of a bummer as I expected more from Coho!

Theo and Josh really were the stars of this book. And the bond that Josh and Atlas build is heartwarming. I still found Lily to be entirely bland though.
