Another fun read like the first in the series! I liked the exploration of Felicity’s asexuality. I also really liked the character growth and power of female friendship throughout the story!

I enjoyed this more than the first book, partly because I prefer Felicity and her story to Monty but partly because the mystery and general storyline in this book was more fun and interesting!

I also loved the storyline of Felicity's sexuality and how that concluded with her and others accepting who she is and being comfortable with it.

I don't think I was entirely in the mood for this book when I read it but I still found it enjoyable. I admittedly ended up skimming a lot of it partially because of the medical content, but also because I

I'm really glad this is a book that challenges the "Not Like Other Girls" attitude without forcing Felicity to become more feminine than she is comfortable with, instead simply learning to understand girls can be intelligent and feminine and learning to support her more feminine friends. 

I'm also really happy for Felicity being aroace rep, struggling with society's expectations for her to marry and bear children, but not being forced into a relationship at the end of the book.

That said I hope Sim gets to come back in future installments with a girlfriend of her own. I won't deny she and Felicity had some chemistry, but I'm glad that no side resented the other after discovering their orientations were incompatible and they were still able to be friends. I think that takes skill to pull off and the author landed it well.
