I thought this part of the story was better than the first book. I still think that the story should all be one book as it kind of just cuts off each time but the author did provide their reason for doing this. The dialogue between characters is still cringy and does not feel realistic to the age of the characters. There are also a lot of text message conversations throughout with ridiculous abbreviations. I don't think anyone talks like that. Other than that, I liked the plot of this book more than the first and besides the issues above, I thought the writing was better than the first book. To be honest, I don't think I would have read this if I didn't receive a free copy and I don't think I will read the third book at this time.

I received a copy via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

An enjoyable read.
Many thanks to Open Heart Press and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

To young adult, to much in dealing with addiction and reliving abuse. Sorry can't continue reading this.

I read the first book and want to find out what happens between Nicky and Ryan. Jerry is still in there, but I am hoping he won't be for much longer. I love that Nicky is taking charge of her own life and is mending the relationship with her sister, Jenise. It's interesting seeing Nicky grow throughout the book.

While I like the story line, some of the basic editing and proofreading errors made it hard to really enjoy it. Incorrect words or the wrong use of a word with a different spelling tear you out of the story multiple times.
