Overall, I really like this book. It’s the second time I read it, (I read it once in middle school and didn’t finish the entire series, because I got lazy) so, I already knew what was going to happen for the most part. However, I still think it’s very interesting, and has a lot of suspense. I also love Jenny Han, and I love how this has the teenage charm of her other books, but also a little mystery. I think this is a really great young adult series., but there is a lot of triggering content.

Second time reading this. It’s a good twist on the Girl Seeks Revenge plot. It’s interesting enough to keep you hooked and leaves you hanging just enough to read the next book in the trilogy
