After having read the first book, I was unsure if I would love this one. To be honest, I did not love it, but I liked it quite a lot. The first book was very good and I also got attached to the characters, but it was nice finding out more about their friends in this book.I am really glad that the author kept the characters from the previous book and not just presented the story of Karen and Connor. It would have been weird, right? I mean they are friends, they go to the same school. We learnt a few things about Karen in the first book, so it's completely normal to have the other characters in this book.The book is well written and the plot as well. I must say that the author writes interesting and unique stories. I really loved the characters. Karen is quite geeky, unexpectedly so. I love that about her. To be honest, I could not imagine living her life. She lives under so much pressure, but in a way I think she enjoys it. She wants to be the best as what she does because otherwise she wouldn't continue doing what she does.Connor is the ultimate bad boy. We know right from the beginning that he is exactly what Karen should avoid. Underneath it all, he is a nice guy. He might not be the perfect boyfriend, the man to take home to your mum, but he is what Karen needs in her life. I must say that I adore the fact that he is Irish. You can almost hear his accent while reading the book. I don't usually swoon over accents, but I really liked his. (I sound weird right now, right? )I loved Karen and Connor together, they have such amazing chemistry. In the beginning, I was a bit unsure whether they could make it work, but in the end they were perfect together. They are really different and they have such different personalities, but they are perfect for each other.Overall, I am really thankful that i got to read this book as part of this tour because it was a really nice read and I hope that I will have the chance to read some more of this author's work.
