Lo and behold, this sequel absolutely lived up to the hype—and then some. It wasn’t just a continuation; it was a story with its own depth and significance. It’s no surprise that it’s been breaking records worldwide— it was a story worth telling, with its own depth and heart.
Shay’s journey to Canada began as an international student.
