I did enjoy this mostly but some parts of the story had me so confused and I couldn’t really focus on what was happening although I did like the characters but the banter wasn’t the best until around the 60% mark. I just found some stuff to be repetitive but I really loved the focus on Allie and Landon and the growth in both of them as the story progresses. Sadly I just couldn’t get into it like the first one. Very well written in terms of grief and the dealing with trauma. The story is deep, please check your trigger warnings. Very slow burn but if that’s your thing I suggest.
