This was an excellent sequel that further explores Kel and Yaan's relationship as they face new challenges & circumstances. 

Kel continues to be an adorable cinnamon roll, but I also have a lot of love for Yaan, whose character we get a further exploration of here. 

Without getting too far into spoilers, their relationship dynamic is flipped in this book, which was really interesting to see. 

I also loved seeing more of Kel's family and seeing Yaan bond with them. 

In summary, I just adore these two & I'm looking forward to the 3rd installment! 

My thanks to the author for providing me with an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

(One of my favourite 2022 reads, just realized that I haven't leave a review)

Kel is my precious little sunshine.
I became repeatedly worried for him- I'm afraid that Yaan was mistreating him again, unfortunately he didn't!
I really HATED Yaan in book 1, but the way he's changed here surprised me. And as someone who's gone through the same struggles, what happened to both of them completely broke my heart in this one.

I stumbled across Structural Integrity by accident and loved it. So I wasted no time in acquiring the sequel when it came out. And I heard there would be a book 3???
Please do, cause I need a happy ending for my baby Kel.
