Okay, I did like this book. I liked the realistic struggles Neil and Rowan faced. I greatly appreciated the discussions about mental illness, depression specifically. I myself have depression and I felt Neil's struggle with it was realistic and well written. Rowan's imposter syndrome also felt all too real. I understood these characters deeply. I just really got them. The romance was so sweet. I absolutely loved how both of them never gave up on the other or on the relationship even when it was really hard. It was so inspiring to see. I will be completely honest though, I had a hard time getting through this one. Not because it was bad, but because of how long it was. I felt that the length was unnecessary. It kind of dragged on a little bit. I also felt like the book itself was maybe not needed. I did enjoy the book, but I did not think after reading the first book that I wanted or needed a sequel. 

Overall, I enjoyed it, but I do not think we need a third book. Leave it at two.
