I was unsure about this series before I started reading it, but it has quickly gained my attention. I liked this one, which is the second book in the series, a little more than the first one. Probably because I already had all of the backstory. This is a direct continuation of the story from the first book, so you definitely need to read the first book to understand what is going on, and although the story is still very unrealistic, it is such a fun read. I actually listened to this on audio and found myself sitting in my car for a while after I got home, not wanting to turn it off. The narration definitely adds to the humor and emotions in the story. Finlay is definitely a hot mess but I can’t help but root for her (and Nick 😉) every time. I definitely did not guess the ending and can’t wait to read the third book!
