I preferred this book to the first book. It was dark, emotional and interesting. I liked the aspect of Emma being a game designer, and while I kinda could guess where her journey was leading, I was still hooked by the story.
I am torn between 3&4 stars. let me explain. I absolutely loved everybody in Rev's part of the story. Like in Letters to the Lost Rev and Declan were a unit, they are so soft and their friendship is everything. I love Declan so much, like I almost tabbed every line he said. Kristin and Geoff are amazing parents. They are patient, loving and kind. They are so sweet and I feel like I just want to visit their house and just be part of their family for a few hours. They welcome everybody and it feels so good to read about parents like them. Introducing Matthew to the story was a great choice as well. He grew on me and I enjoyed reading about Rev and his relationship building and I imagine them become really close brothers at some point in the future. Rev is such a great character. It was so heartbreaking reading his backstory. The fact that he became the Rev that we know and love after all of that, makes him so strong. Honestly I can't even express how much I loved Rev's story and his growth. The unfortunate part is that I didn't like Emma. Like at all. And that stopped me from enjoying her story and I didn't really root for her and Rev because I think he deserves better. Sure she is nice to him(most of the time) and she doesn't judge him. It wasn't all bad, but I just had hoped for a better counter-part for him. Her story wasn't bad, in fact if Emma wouldn't have been such a menace than I would have enjoyed it a lot more. I really like Cait and the way she treats her is so unfair. I do like that they rekindled their friendship, tho. Her mom wasn't as bad as she put her out to be. I believe everything her mom did, she did in her best interest. It just didn't come out right. I just think Emma was unnecessarily rude to so many people in her live and I wish we would've gotten more of her saying sorry and improving that part of herself. I still flew through this book. I love Brigid Kemmerer's style of writing and the way she handles these deep topics really resonates with me. Even though it deals with such heavy topics, it doesn't feel forced. A lot of books have these "tropes" so that you feel sorry for the characters. But not here. She works threw the problems that her characters have and shows them grow.
