Very descriptive sex scenes once again, not that I'm complaining. I'm interested in seeing where this story goes.

Sexy, polyamorous threesome who are very kinky, well-formed and not just there as a fetish.

I was not a fan of Malorie in the first book and she isn't any better in this one even though it takes place A DECADE LATER! She has 0 growth and yeah I know it's the end of the world but .... I would still expect there to be some change, some growth, something but this woman is 100% stuck in the same emotional state she was throughout book one.

This book is very well-written. I put off watching the movie until I could read the book. The internal monologue of Malorie was very annoying and almost made me DNF but the story itself prevailed and made me push through.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 21%.
This was just not the right time in my life to read this. What I read was amazing and I hope to get it again but it needs to be returned to the library.
