4.0

This was a 5 star read for me until about 3/4 of the way into the book. 

It picked up right where the last book ended. I loved seeing the aftermath of the end of the previous book and how Robin and Sophie deal with the bullying that results from it together. They created a united front where no matter what happened the fact they had each other was enough for them. Their relationship was so cute and very healthy.

But then 3/4 of the way in when things make a turn for the better for Sophie,(and a bit for Robin too) but he can't seem to handle not being the only thing she thinks of anymore, and he takes it out on her in a not so nice way resulting in a fight between the two of them and a another questionable decision on his part in which he regrets and has to make up to her in the end.

The way he makes it up to her though in the end was very cute and sweet and brought back a little of that sweet and loving character from the beginning of the book.

The entire last quarter until the last few pages just left a bitter taste in my mouth. 

So this went from a 5 star down to a 4 in the end.

All in all I though it was an entertaining read and I'd probably read it again if I was looking for something fast paced to read.
