This was so unexpected. So much better than the first book, unbelievable. 
This book kicked me in the stomach on a regular basis. It literally made me feel physically sick and made me cry. It had such an emotional grip on me.
I was so invested in the characters I felt all their pain with them and it just kept adding up. Finding out about their absolutely awful pasts and then the present which just kept adding more trauma on the pile. I want to give all of them a very strong hug and adopt them. 
This isn’t at all what I signed up for when I started reading this series, going in solely after seeing cute fanart, but my god I’m invested and can’t wait to start the next book. 
Unfortunately still inappropriate use of the word “powwow” and the r-slur.
