Flashbacks
Like the first book, this one utilized a lot of flashbacks. They acted as memories that were triggered by current events. Yet, it didnāt work as well in this book as it did in the first one. I found myself annoyed by the flashbacks since so many of them seemed irrelevant. Though, maybe this was because I wanted to know more about Mia and less about Adam, which wasnāt gonna happen since the sequel is told from Adamās POV.
Pacing
Iām not sure if this supposed to be one of those fast reads because it is such a small book, but it sure did take me a while. Maybe it had to do with the constant flashbacks. Or maybe it was because I just didnāt feel the emotion that was supposed to be there, but this book took me some time to finish. And I constantly found myself putting it down and looking for other things to do.
Whiny, Emo Kids aka āAdamā
Did I not mention already how disappointed I was that Adam was the narrator in this book? Not enough? Good, because I was very disappointed. I felt nothing for Adam in this sequel. I didnāt care where he came from or where he was going or what he wanted. All I read about was a whiny little emo kid with too much of everything. Likeā¦ get over it. Make something of yourself. Itās not that hard. I have no sympathy for you. -.-
The ending. The ending! The ENDING! I was soooo freakinā happy about the ending because of how they got back together. However, I was also a little upset about how it happenedā¦ Hmā¦ Part of it felt like it wasā¦ forced, perhaps? I mean, I loved it, but it feltā¦ wrong. I canāt explain it much better than that. So, I hope you can understand if youāve read the book.
