1.5 stars 
 I am not sure what happened here. I was a fan of book one, A Million Dirty Secrets, but for some reason the same combination just didn't work for me this time. I found it to be very juvenile and honestly irritating. Sigh.... 
 The story picks up right where it left off in book one so the reader has instant gratification. Not much angst as they reconcile immediately. The "story" they give Lane's father is farfetched and unbelievable as well. It all just felt predictable and safe. 
 I really like the authors writing style and flow but the story just didn't hold me like it's predecessor. I don't know, I feel sad giving it this low of a rating but...... for me it honestly was disappointing.
