4.5/5

Oh man this book was a lot better than the first one! The first book was great but tbh Kade is a lot more interesting. I also connected more with both Presley and Kade than I was expecting to. Kade struggles with his grief from losing his father as well as trauma from an accident. Not to mention trying to maintain sobriety. Presley is a sassy plus sized baddie, whom I see a lot of my younger self in, has her insecurities used against her and struggles with truly being loved. Having depression does not make you weak and it's okay to ask for help. But also, the things Kade does with those ropes, yes please.
