I really enjoyed this sequel.  I loved how it was different from the last one. I like the different approach to this second book. The characters were fantasticly done well. This book was well written.  The storyline was a masterpiece.  I can't wait for the next.

This was fun.

Fast-paced with just enough depth to keep me hooked, I flew through this bad boy in a day and honestly liked it better than the first - it was far less predictable, with characters you truly get what they deserve. 

Millie has big June vibes to me, with a little soul crushing victim mentality thrown in for good measure.

All in all, enjoyable. A quick read that will definitely pull you out of your slump.
