So the first book was more plot & this book is a good mix between plot & character development. In the first book I was screaming for charli to leave Kash but he turned a new leaf & learned how to communicate his thoughts & feelings like a sane adult (minus the trifling situation that happened about half way through). Charli did work my nerves in this book some but she was alright. She definitely learned how to have a backbone with Kash & let him know that he messed up & she warned him what would happen & she stuck to her word for a good minute. This was a really good ending & now I’m wondering if Parker & Jayson have their own book?
