This is why reading foxhole was worth it holy hell. Foxhole is good but mostly building blocks that fall into place to leave me sobbing at 2 am.
Heed tw for this one and I am screaming 

5 stars for the found family and aggressive c!Tommy vibes Neal brings to the table lmao

this book has all the same issues as tbe first book, along with most of the story being told in info dumps. I still hate the treatment of Andrews' character, and the handling of Nickys' sexuality. Also I truly thing the author should've done at least a bloody google search about what psychosis is, because clearly she has no idea what it means considering how wrongly she uses the word. 
I did enjoy the story a bit more than the first book but I still can't bring myself to rate it anything over a 2. Why the hell I'm rereading this is truly a mystery.
