Thoughts: I'm so excited to read from Hardin's point of view. I can't wait to get more insight into him and his mind and his feelings for Tess. I love Ken and Karen so much. They are such good people. It's so nice how they are caring for Tess. I feel so bad for Tess. I can't imagine the heartbreak she is feeling right now. I also feel bad for Hardin in a way though. I know he cares about Tess but what he did to her is terrible. I'm mad at Hardin but at the same time I hope him and Tess wind up getting back together. I know they're kinda toxic but I like certain aspects of the relationship they have. I hate Tessa's mom. She sucks so much. I hate that I feel bad for Hardin because he did this to himself but I can't help it. This situation he has created sucks so much. I hate it for him and Tess. I'm only 5 chapters in and I already wanna throw this book across the room. I think it's so sweet how Tessa helps Hardin sleep. It's so cute to me. The reason behind Hardin's nightmares is so fucking sad. I'm lowkey struggling to get into this book. I like it but for some reason my brain is just not getting sucked in yet. Hopefully it will soon. I wish Hardin's chapters were a little longer. I want more insight into his feelings. I hate Molly so much. She's such a conniving bitch. I really hope Hardin doesn't do anything stupid while he's drinking. And if he does it better not involve Molly. I love how every time Hardin mentions Trevor he calls him "fucking Trevor." It's so funny to me. What Hardin did for Tessa's birthday was so cute. It was subtle but still very cute and sweet. Tessa's mom frustrates me to no end. I love Hardin's mom tho. She's amazing. Chapter 33 just made me so fucking happy I wanna scream. Bro spicy scenes are sooooo much better from Hardin's point of view. I mean they're obviously still good in Tessa's pov but I like them so much more in Hardin's pov. I was not expecting Tessa's mom to bust into the apartment like that. I knew she was crazy but damn. Shit it's really just one shitty thing after another with Hardin and Tessa. It's honestly exhausting. This book is literally making me mentally exhausted. Hardin's letter was so sweet but in a fucked up way. I'm so glad his whole past is finally out in the open. I don't think I could handle anymore bombshells. I love Hardin's period jokes. They're so bad but so funny. I hate that he calls tampons plugs. That sounds so gross to me. It's so cute to me that Hardin was worried Tessa would like Ken and Karen's present more than his. HE TOOK HER TAMPON OUT. WTF OMG IM SHOOK. IM SO MAD RIGHT NOW. WHY CANT HARDIN AND TESS JUST KEEP THEIR SHIT TOGETHER. THEY WERE DOING SO GOOD. Honestly screw Tess for jumping to conclusions so fast. She pisses me off sometimes. Hardin and Tessa stress me the fuck out. Damn chapter 65 is HOT. I love that chapter 69 has a sex scene in it. I'm so immature lol. I'm so ready to be done with this book. I still have 43 chapters left. Smith is so cute. It killed me how he called Hardin "your Hardin" when he was talking to Tessa. This book is pissing me off. Tessa and Hardin better get their shit together. Hardin needs to knock it off with this self-loathing no one will ever love me bullshit. I hate Zed so much right now. He's such an immature prick. Tessa pisses me the fuck off. She is honestly a hypocrite sometimes. I kinda hate her tbh. I am struggling to get through this book. I've got 10 chapters left and I am forcing myself to continue. This book has taken me way too fucking long to read.

I didn't like this book near as much as I did the first one. It was okay tho.
