I waited for what seemed like a long time for the sequel to Ruthie Knox's book, Truly (New York, #1) by Ruthie Knox . I loved Truly and May&Ben are in Madly, which was great. I actually wanted a little more of them together in the sequel.

Maybe my expectations were way too high. Madly was superbly written (as usual) and it had complex, interesting characters. But it was heavy on the family angst and didn't have enough steam or romance IMO. I loved both parts of the couple separately, but their chemistry and relationship seemed to be missing something. I felt that Winston and Allie could be more successful as friends. Their "list," although a cute idea, made the romance side of things things seem a bit robotic.

I liked the story but it literally took me weeks to finish. It's probably just me though! This author's books usually work for me and I have many on my favorites shelf. The family drama and the characters being mad all the time seemed stressful so I just didnt love it.

I will definitely read the next one, though, and anything else by this author!
