While not a 5 star like the first book, this one was still super fun!! I love the queer-normative world and the mental health rep. Just a few things didn't perfectly line up for me.

This whole trilogy is absolutely phenomenal. I would definitely recommend reading all three because the ultimate meaning behind everything isn't revealed until the end of the final book-- and it's absolutely brilliant.
