4.0
I waited over a year for the sequel to The Mister to come out (this book). I had so many questions and felt the story was not complete. When I had looked before there was no updates as to whether the author was going to write a second book or not. I hoped but kept it in the mind of my mind.
Then, a few days ago I saw The Missus on Amazon. I was so excited, my expectations for the book were high. I think overall, my expectations were met. I finished the book pretty content with the ending.
With that being said…some of the story was slow. Some aspects of it dragged (which I didn’t think happened in the first book). The first book felt more “high-risk” than the second one did. In my opinion, there were no real “stakes” in regard to Alessia (being deported/trafficked, etc). To me it seemed more like a book delving into how cultural differences can affect marriage.
Overall, I enjoyed the book. If you finished The Mister and want the questions you have answered…it is worth it to read The Missus.
