It’s not that you should never love something so much it can control you.
It’s that you need to love something that much so you can never be controlled.
ok so i really enjoyed this book. basically my only complaint was that it suffered from 2nd book syndrome and thus could have probably been cut down quite a few pages in the middle. other than that, it was very enjoyable, and i thought the character development was realistic for the circumstances. i also thought the heavy topics were handled pretty well. the last few chapters in particular were spectacular, even if they themselves have issues.
(major spoiler)
overall im excited to read the last book!

okay am i the only one who thought that the author did a pretty good job of almost-redeeming davy? i didnt cry or anything when he died but i did feel very bad for him lol. the fact that he wanted to have todd be his brother and viola his sister was very pain-inducing for me specifically. tbh his death brought a little memories back of "todd?" from the first bookoverall im excited to read the last book!
