Okay…. This was fine…? This was one of my most anticipated reads of the year and it’s the second sequel of a book I absolutely loved this year that was just really disappointing 🙃 I love Wes & Liz! I would’ve loved to read a sequel where they were happy and enjoying college together (even though I know most people want some kind of drama in a book) and this was the exact opposite of that in every way. 

I spent more of this book annoyed than any other emotion. The first 40%, I was so annoyed with Wes (which I hate because I love Wes & wanted his pov of bttm so bad) and just wanting to know how they had gotten to where they were. Then when we finally find out, it’s awful and my heart broke for Wes and I was a little less annoyed but he still wasn’t being honest with Liz. Then, when everything was finally out in the open, I was annoyed all over again because it seemed like he just expected her to be happy to know the truth and then just jump back into things like 2 years hadn’t passed, while at the same time never actually apologizing to her about everything… and okay, I understand why he did what he did and I can’t even imagine the grief and guilt he was dealing with and also all the pressure that was suddenly put on his shoulders but the fact that he made decisions for Liz without even thinking to be honest with her and talk about things just bothered me so much and it was hard for me to get past it. Also, it was annoying that he was so adamant about knowing her but not really making any moves to get to know who she had become, and just expecting her to be the exact same after everything, until she told him he needed to get to know the new version of her 🤦🏻‍♀️ 

And while I loved that they got their “HEA”, I just kind of wish she would’ve left their story where it was at the end of bttm and just not have given us this book 🤷🏻‍♀️ my rating probably isn’t super accurate for this one because logically it should be lower but I still love Wes & Liz so my heart won’t let me rate it lower than 3.5 stars 😔
