TW: racism, mentions of past sexual assault, slavery, death, sexual trauma

A strong sequel. Raven was brilliant trans character and there was so much parallel with today's struggles. I loved seeing women allowed to be strong, but vulnerable, and able to work through trauma.

I was so excited to read the second book of this duology but my lack of reading young adult books has really impacted me this past year. Let me say this book is still amazingly written and I probably would have finished it if I hadn't paused where I was. But oh my goodness, I forgot that because it's written for a younger audience so they can identify and learn from the characters, there are a lot of moments where the characters make not so great decisions that I just KNEW would lead to there being consequences. The amount of secondhand embarrassment I got in expectation of the backlash just made me avoid picking the book back up.

A good follow up to the Good Luck Girls. I like that they had a bigger group in this and that people really started to work together. Violet will sanction your morally dubious acts and I love her for it. I really enjoyed the characters of Raven and Derrick but adding more characters with so much going on meant other dynamics suffered a bit imo. Would have liked to see more of Clementine & Aster's bond. Also to have a little more time developing the romantic relationship between Aster and [redacted].
