Is no one concerned they’re stepsiblings?!?!? Why is no one talking about this?

"The problem is my craving for Lennon has always been more powerful than any of the others. Drugs, liquor, sex, pain. They've always been temporary fixes to curb my need for her. They're crutches to fall back on when I cant have the one thing my body desires."
I am ASTONISHED with how good the second book was. This book completely me, I am utterly obsessed with Macon and Lennon. Devoured this series in less than 10 hours. Wow wow wow wow

Overall, I like how this duology ended. There were quite a few things that I really enjoyed in this one, such as the character evolution of Sam! In the previous book, Sam was Lennon's biggest bully and Macon's girlfriend. So to see her being the terrible girl we first meet to being Lennon's only confidant was terrific. I love who she grew up to be despite her family. Then, on the other hand, we had freaking Claire. Honestly, she was never a good friend, and when things hit the fan in the previous book, we got to see just how truly terrible she was in this one stayed crappy, and I love that she didn't get a redemption arc. But there is about a 4-5 time jump between where the previous book ends and this one begins, and this one was just as tragic as the first book, just in a different way. But in the end, I wanted more for these two. Part of me feels like it could've been combined into one book. Still, on the other hand, we had so much come out that happened between Macon and Lennon and everything that happened with the family. It was crazy seeing Lennon return, and she's no longer the girl we first met at the beginning of the previous book.

This is the book that make me strongly dislike Lennon for half the book. In the best way. This was also the book that make you fall in love with Macon. There was something towards the end that I wasn't a huge fan of, but it didn't ruin the book for me at all, I hardly thought about it and it wasn't dwelled on much. Like the first one I still think about this book every single day. Ripped my heart out, then picked it up nursed it back to health, only to then get it ripped out and stomped on it then picked back up again and just ugh. Words cannot describe. 5/5 stars
