✨REVIEW✨

🌟🌟🌟

Nederlands:

ik heb gemixte gevoelens over dit boek. het ging van vrolijk naar droevig, naar nog droeviger, naar depressief en dan terug iets vrolijker, alhoewel ik toch met een iet wat droevig gevoel achterblijf.

ik vind het wel heel goed dat de auteur open spreekt over aids, verlies en homoseksualiteit.

geeft dit boek een meerwaarde aan het eerste boek? voor mij persoonlijk niet. ik zou het na het lezen van deze sequel, niet erg gevonden hebben moest het een standalone gebleven zijn.

ik had er meer van verwacht ... 

English

I have mixed feelings about this book. it went from happy to sad, to even sadder, to depressed and then back a little more cheerful, although I am left with a slightly sad feeling. 

I think it is very good that the author speaks openly about AIDS, loss and homosexuality. 

Does this book add value to the first book? not for me personally. After reading this sequel, I wouldn't have minded if it had remained a standalone. 

I expected more...
