Evelie i love your videos and literally same babe. this book was so overhyped…slow…boring….uneventful….and disappointing. i should’ve known a decent sequel is a rare find. ⭐️⭐️/5 two stars.

message 19: by Abby (new) - added it

Abby  Denbow Same I DNFed at like 50%


michelle walters ngl I literally cried through the whole thing and loved most of it but the book almost feels incomplete. like I didn’t realize the end was the end until I saw the acknowledgments page


Alina Blaikner same.. it's not what i expected in any way


Banah Potter Same felt unnecessary


Alexandria same - i feel like there wasn’t enough emotion in both books to rlly connect me to the characters !!


Khloe Bryant Awwwww that makes me sad


message 25: by Kristen (new) - added it

Kristen George I thought it was fine. The “Jack” chapters were definitely the best as we really didn’t get to know him in the first book. I wanted more though.


melanie &#x1f495;(semi-hiatus) i agree. the first book just holds a special place in my heart


Jordan Dailey I agree…


adrxreadss disappointed with finny’s pov


Hannah Baker I’m disappointed with the book as a whole. I wanted more from Finny, I didn’t really care for Jack’s point of view as much. The ending is what really did it for me. I wanted to love it and the first couple chapters I did but it fell flat and got so boring for me.


message 30: by Poppy (new)

Poppy Leanne Pffft— I was wondering if I should read this book. But now, seeing all these comments, I don’t want to waste my money 😭. I’m sure the authors writing is good! But it just doesn’t sound like I would enjoy it 😭🫶🏻


message 31: by Lulu (new)

Lulu This reminds me of It Stars With Us basically a book I didn't need it and felt annoyed that I wasted my time with it


Autumn thompson i was kinda disappointed too this book i feel like dragged on to long and finnys pov wasn’t as heat felt as i had hoped


message 33: by Aaron (new) - added it

Aaron Does anyone have a great friendship books


Dommy Is this a retelling of the events in the first book?


message 35: by Ayda (new) - rated it 4 stars

Ayda Ebsworth No it’s from after what happened in the first book but finny’s point of view begins near the end of the first book


message 36: by Rae (new) - rated it 4 stars

Rae *in my Katniss Everdeen era* like, was it still good? i'm just starting ihhbwm, sooo...


Ashleigh Neuman Anyone else think that jack was gonna end up with autumn and then the end just casually ends up with Sylvie smh I was disappointed.


Caitlyn Mills I see how it might be disappointing for people.. but honestly I loved getting a second book and hearing from Finn’s pov. I became very attached to the first book and their story so maybe that is why I loved this one as well.
I recommend going in with the expectations of just enjoying hearing more from the characters and being back in their world!


message 39: by Dina (new) - added it

Dina Rogers I don’t think I can out myself through that again…but I probably will🙃


Kristin Rose Same. Could have left it at the first book


Erika Santini Same. Same.


Ashlee Mills I definitely was. It wasn't a book that needed a sequel to begin with


message 43: by Courtney (new) - added it

Courtney Acton Same.


Serenity agreed. this book only made me hate autumn but ihhbwm used to be one of my favorite books so this is saying ALOT


clare Me too.


maddie⚡️ so real


Cynthia Jones It was just ok for me. The first was so much better.


Vanessa Lawrence I agree. I was disappointed as well. The first one literally broke my heart and I couldn’t pick up another book for days. My heart still hurts when I look at the cover. This one was ok but did not evoke the same feelings.


Monica I was so close to not finishing it. I was so very disappointed 😢
