Honestly other than the end, this book was a snooze. I'm not sure I could tell you anything that happened that was super significant. I adore Juliette but this entire book was just like a backtrack from the last one. Warner has seemed to evolve so thats cool. I'm hoping the next book is better.

This one had a huge miscommunication plot and the characters were very passive. A lot of talk of having to do so much and very little of anyone actually doing anything.
