Review
*This will probably contain spoilers for the first book in the series*
I liked this book so much more than I liked the first in the series. I felt like the characters were better written, the story was more engaging and I really enjoyed it.
I also loved the added bonus of having some chapters from Jeremiah's perspective. I actually wish there had been more from his perspective.
I liked how the book was written, telling not only the story of where we are in the current time of the story, but also going back and filling in the gaps of what happened between the two books, and even having some stuff from the childhoods.
There was definitely a different tone to this book, it wasn't as light and bubbly as the first one. There was some deeper emotional stuff they were all dealing with, and I think partly I liked this book more because of that.
Overall I enjoyed this book a lot more than the first one in the series.
