4 years later and Keith is still pissing me off in the most interesting way.
I love how the author writes that.
My main critique of this book was that we didn't explore Keith's childhood trauma (sexual abuse) which led and continues to lead him to push back against D's love.
I feel like this was a point made in book 1 (Bump This) that gave great understanding to Keith moving strangely with D but it fell off in this installment. Yet, Keith's behavior appeared to be the same for the first part of this book.
The other critique was the intro of the father. That storyline did not flow in naturally for me. It was written well but didn't place well for me.
Reviewing this book separately of the previous installment, LOVED. In conjunction with the previous installment, still LOVED but it didn't read as cohesively.
However, this is still an amazing coming of age story that I highly recommend.
I love how the author showed the growth and maturity of all our beloved characters in this book.

Great Ending
I have to admit Keith drove me crazy sometimes. I love how he’s a young guy, a young black guy, trying to find his way, but the stuff with his mom and dad drove me crazy.
I am so glad that D never gave up on Keith and Keith was able to recognize the true love he had for D.
This truly was an inspirational read. You can definitely relate to a lot of what Keith said and how Keith felt. I love books like this.

Loved the sequel!
Loved the way the story ended. Hopefully there will be another book to continue the story. We need to know there was a happily ever after.
