This sequel made me question my feelings towards Mia. In the first novel, I absolutely loved her character, but here, I found myself wondering if she's a bit cowardly or even cruel. I appreciated Adam's perspective in this book. He's in such a dark place emotionally, and it's heartbreaking to see how devastated he is by Mia's actions. It's difficult to understand why Mia would blame Adam when all he did was love her unconditionally. He supported her through her recovery, helping her heal after the accident, and was willing to sacrifice everything for her. Yet, when she moved to New York, she cut off all contact with him, erasing him from her life without even an explanation.

I can understand why Adam is so bitter and resentful towards Mia. It wasn't until later that I could appreciate Mia's perspective. I'm glad she realized her mistake in not communicating with him and eventually apologized, because without that, I would have truly disliked her character. In the end, I loved how she acknowledged her wrongdoing and took steps to help Adam heal and recover, just as he had done for her.

However, as much as I enjoyed this novel, I couldn't help but notice the similarities in structure and style to Richard Linklater's film “Before Sunset.” The concept of spending the entire night talking and the overall narrative framework seemed heavily inspired by that movie.

Despite these issues, I absolutely loved the writing in this book—it's definitely an improvement over the first one

I walk out with the message from this is that it's not easy to end the cycle of abuse, people from outside the relationship thinks the woman is weak and stupid to stay in a relationship where her partner puts his hands on her, a stupid person would want to live with someone who put them through so much pain. But people forget to know that it's impossible to erase your emotions for someone. If you love a person and when they abuse you, you won't be able to just erase the love you feel towards them, those emotions will always be there but the abuse will add some more emotions of hatred towards that person but won't erase the previous emotions, it's not like that human heart works like a computer, like when the love file get corrupted you just delete it, you can't delete that file you'll add more files of hatred but that file will always be there. Your heart will convince that 1 bad thing vs 100 good thing doesn't make a person bad, you won't be able to forget all the good memories. So it's very hard to walk away from that relationship, it takes a lot of courage and strength to end that pattern of abuse, Just like Lily she was able to end the cycle of abuse but not for herself but for her child,it ended with them

The Book Was Enjoyable, Specifically The People Who Loved The First One Deserve This, Although It's Not Deep and Emotional As The First One, It's a light theme as compared to first one, something could've been done better, I feel they should've focused more on Mother Son Relationship of Atlas And His Mother, And Also I really missed Ellen in this one, and so many time gaps was dumb thing to do
