I’m kind of torn on this book, I really liked seeing her relationship develop further with the guys. The cliffhanger from book 1 is pretty quickly resolved - some of which seemed a little out of left field, like one of the guys having deliberately got himself kidnapped in the past. We meet Atlas, and I liked him but things happen way too quickly with him. He doesn’t have the history with Ever, so the. Instantly jumping into a relationship together with her felt too forced. I also feel like the set up is there for there to be a 8th member of the harem. In book one, I really liked the girl friendship between Ever and Rylie, but in this book Rylie seems to do a 180 and is kind of a crap friend. I’m not sure if this is just a way to get rid of a character, but it didn’t make sense to me. Also in the end, it suddenly switches, and the story is set up to change to a bully Academy RH story in book 3. Their ages also kind of don’t make sense to - they range in age from 17 to 19, but they are seemingly in the same grade, the ages would allow for so,e of the plot points, like them having money, but in regards to school why are the older ones, especially the 19 year olds still in school? Im not sure if that is a difference in UK vs US schooling or just a hole. I didn’t feel like the cliffhanger was as harsh as book 1. I tend not to focus on grammatical errors - and there were quite a few, but it does bother me when a story is set in the US but there is British phrasing/lingo - like jumper, go to mine, good job, bloody, etc. it also seemed really off that one of the moms who is repeatedly pointed out to be Italian is speaking British lingo. Overall, I liked the story - I read it in one sitting - but it felt like there were a lot of 180s in characters and the plot that just happen without good explanation or justification. I will likely pick up book 3, because I want to see what happens.
