And Nina, whom I loved in the first book, became so. Her story was fluid and you could see she had grown, without losing all of her spark from the first book. I gave 2 stars instead of 1 because I did like Samantha’s story. If there was something that came after this, I’d probably not be so pissed that I wasted 12 hours listening to this. I thought it was supposed to be a trilogy, but apparently this is it. I enjoyed the first book immensely and was really looking forward to this. That is the only explanation for what I just listened to. I really hate it when authors destroy their characters for shock value. In true 2020 fashion, put this one in the garbage pile. If you loved book one, don't buy this until she announces a third book and there's some hope for redemption. Instead I got something just as immature and not nearly as well thought through.

I expected something deeper and more mature than The Thousandth Floor series (which I really liked!). There should be a third book to fix allllll the problematic message thrown around here. So so so much potential completely wasted. The plots are half finished and all of your characters seem reckless and weak. SERIOUSLY? This was your grand finale? There's literally nothing grand about it. But then I read that the author is not currently planning for there to be a third book. Why care about any of them? I was disappointed when I believe this was a saggy middle book of a trilogy. Their young love explorations are meaningless and not lasting. All of the characters come off as shallow and foolish. This book not only reverses everything you cared about in book 1, but doesn't do it in a convincing way. I have never been so disappointed in a highly anticipated book.
