This book may have taken me a bit to work through but that truly is no reflection on the content of the book and more so reflects the time I have had to dedicate to reading as of late. In fact, there were parts of this book that I liked even more than the first in the series which is one of my favorite reads of the year. I just absolutely adore the world that TJ Klune has created in the Green Creek series and I truly never want it to end. I would read 10+ more books in this series focusing on different characters and their love stories. Living in the head of Gordo Livingstone for this one was particularly fun for me as I can certainly relate to who he is and how he presents himself as a very guarded and lonely man with a jaded demeanor. I loved the narrative device of switching off every other chapter with telling stories from the past and the present until the meet in the middle and then continue the story. It was a fantastic way to learn the background and origin story of Gordo and the other characters while still being able to further the story that was established in the first novel. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series, but truly I never want this to end.
