I read this to see Sydney and Winter's relationship develop further, but I did not like the direction this book went in with those two. I honestly got kinda annoyed with them, and the fun of their dynamic is gone. They act as if the first book ended in a huge fight between them. I also don't care for the new characters, their exes. I liked the first book a lot more.

The one thing I do appreciate is how
Winter just cuts his father out and doesn't try to mend things just because he's family.
