To understand this book, you must read 'EVERYTHING WE KEEP' first. It lays out the story line you will follow in Everything we Left Behind.
I enjoyed this book, although not quite as much as the first. Everything we Left Behind is told from the James/ Carlos point of view, and primarily in journal entries. The journal entries, while dated for pretext, are hard to follow as they jump around from date to date and place to place. However, once you fully understand the flow of the entries, it does make more sense.
I was not drawn to the "action" as much in this one as I previously was, as the majority of the book revolved around Carlos returning to James and James learning to accept who he is/was.
During the timeline of the book you learn that Carlos' sister-in-law is in love with him, and him her.. which i will be honest... just doesn't do anything for me. And there is alot more sex this time around...
More Donato family secrets are revealed, again, one of those leaving more of a sour taste than interest. There is more "pretending to be something i am not, and knowing more than I let on" happenings at play here, which became predictable.
I gave 4 stars because the series as a whole is good. The story is good. As much as I enjoyed hearing the story from the POV of James/ Carlos, i felt that the organization could have been better.
I look forward to the 3rd installment later this year. I look forward to the 3rd installment later this year.
