Loved it
The inner dialogue got a bit repetitive at times, but I didn't mind too much because the sex scenes were amazing

Honestly ejoyed the book the whole way through, the only thing is that I felt that Brit was on the weeker end of character development
Basically, I would've liked a stronger change from the "mean girl" trope, I felt her personal struggle had an abrupt ending

Creo que este libro no vale la pena si no tienes una conección previa con la biblia o la historia de Jesús, al no ser ese mi caso, no conecté realmente ni con los personajes, ni con la historia ni con la prosa

Son historias con mucha violencia, incluso difíciles de leer a ratos. Sin embargo creo que no terminé de conectar con los personajes y por lo tanto no sentí todo lo que el libro me presentaba. 
Creo que simplemente no soy tan fan de las historias cortas.

Suprisingly I liked it more that the first and I think it's because there's a character arc that grows through the series more that in every book. So even thou I'm enjoying it as a whole, the character development and the story in each book feels a bit slow at times. 
Still, I love it and wanna keep reading the series

Liked most of it, the pacing was a little bit off and there were some set ups in sonya's part of the story that didn't really get a resolution and I would've liked to see
But honestly, I think this is meant to be a book for the people that saw the video already in their teenage years, because the whole book feels very 2010's and it's kinda nostalgic, but I'm not sure if it holds up if you aren't that attached to the characters already. 
Also the whole change that Coley has near the end felt a bit rushed from me.
Still, overall I ejoyed it and would read something else from heyley if she ever published more books <3

Some short stories were really good! I even got emotional in some 
Others I found boring (and like they draged out tbh, which is weird for a short story compilation)
But in the end I would be intrested in reading more from this author
