So to my delight, this one was so much better than the last book in this series. However, some things just stayed the same. First, Grady isn't really a bad boy. He is a football/lacrosse captain!! who plays music. He might be a little bit crumpy and sleeps a lot. But he is actually quite nice. In fact so nice, that other characters in the books even say, that he is nice, even before he gets together with Lacey.
I did love lacey, maybe because I can relate to her. Being the odd one out in the family and trying to cover that by putting all in school and college. However, I just don't like when people say o you have to loosen up and by that, they mean breaking the law. You should not care as much about your GPA as much as lacey does. However, you should also not break the fricking law. It is not cool or anything like that.
For example, and yeah spoiler alert, she covered for her sister or sang on the stage even though she was awful. Those are things you can do, that bring you further in life. Breaking the law not so much.
And if we already talk about the ending. I kind of liked and disliked the ending for being that sudden and fast. Sometimes the problem is too stretched out, however, Grady did not even apologize to her. She just accepted that he was back, and yeah that's it. Like come on, give us please a little more, communication is key!!!
So enough for the rant, the things I did like, Lacey, her twin sister and the whole sisterhood thing, the family dynamic (such a cool family), the column, I found it a clever way to include the situations and also advice was really fun to read and also kind of helpful :D
She also included the whole consent thing again in a much better way, which I appreciated.
All in all, not mad about it, not my fav either. Im curious how the other books in the serious will went. im excited for Bernie's. I love her.
