I believe you can always tell a amazing author from a good author with their ability to play with an intricate amount of emotion. Adam Silvera has done it once again. He is so skilled at creating realistic characters that you grow to love so quickly no matter how hard you try to keep your distance because— well— you know at least someone is going to die in the end. I plan on rereading the original book now, as there are a few links between them which felt like such a sweet nod to the book that started it all.

I spent the last two parts of this books reading through watery eyes having to pause every once in awhile to compose myself. Take with that what you will.
