I found the second part of the book series somewhat less interesting than the first.

I liked that the story continued in a positive direction, but the lack of suspense put me off the book.

It took me quite some time to finish it. I probably wouldn't recommend the book to someone who wants suspense, but it is suitable for someone who prefers a quiet read.

I really enjoyed this, it was just what I needed in regards to switching it up genre wise. 

I love Lily and Atlas together. Albeit the letters were a little cheesy im glad Lily got her happy ending in the end. 

I actually preferred this one to It Ends With Us.
