This was a buddy read with Jonny. A discussion post of this book is up on my blog now if you want to check it out. I'm absolutely loving this series. Honestly at this point in my TJ Klune journey I think I'm going to love everything he writes. I've only read 4 of his books so far and 2 of them were part of this series but he's just a phenomenal writes. In this book we are following Gordo and we get 3 different timelines. We have the present timeline, 3 months? prior and like 20ish years in the past. I loved that we got a different POV of what happened in book 1. I wasn't sure at first if I would like this because I thought it would just be us reading the same thing again but it wasn't. I admit that at first I was thrown off by this book not being in Ox's POV so that took a little bit of getting used to but once I did I was hooked. Gordo is very stubborn. He held onto his past betrayals like a lifeline and as my buddy read partner said it took an act of God for him to let go of that. I get why he was being stubborn I just wish it wouldn't have taken pretty much the whole entire book for him to move past that because I would have loved to of had more of Mark and Gordo together. I can't wait to start the next book very soon.
