It's just relentless, over-the-top ANGST. With no narrative breaks. And random shoehorned vaguely sexual scenes as if the author remembered for a second she wanted to write a romance novel.

All of the weak writing from the first book is at the forefront in this one because there's no semi-decent character/plot arcs to compensate.

On average, I kid you not, at least one character cries/sobs/bursts into tears every other paragraph.

After running herself ragged for well over a month amid all the chaos, Nevvie inexplicably declared her desire for another baby. That's when my brain short-circuited and refused to read another word. ( )

This is the on-going story of Nevvie, Tyler, and Thomas. They now have a child and have settled into life together and then BAM. Boy does life through them some terrible curves. There is so much packed into the story...life, death, family drama, secrets solved, and recovery. The emotions run really strong in this story. Knowing a family effected by head trama and how it effected personality Thomas' recover rang very true to life. Can't wait to get the next installment. ( )
