I definitely enjoyed this book more than the first! The grief Belly and the rest of the characters go through throughout the book is realistic and reminded me of my own experiences dealing with loss.
I still feel like Belly is still a bit of an unlike-ably/likable character and that Taylor is not a great friend (although I’d like to see a chapter or short story or novella (something!) in her POV).
I really liked the dual POV and getting to see some of the story through Jeremiah’s eyes. Overall, I enjoyed the read and I was hooked from the beginning. Onto the last one!
