I'm kind of interested in the plot of this, but I find the characters really unlikable. I wish I felt more of a connection to Stevie or any of her friends. I find David completely annoying. I think I will continue on the next one because I'm curious about the twist returns, but I'm not sure if I would completely recommend this series.

David’s dad was obvious since the beginning. I liked this book more than the first because I never suspected the reveal. 

My only complaint are Stevie and David’s interactions. They were repetitive and the drama was dragged out.

WHO. Who allowed me to binge reread book 1 and then read book 2 all within the span of 48 hours when BOOK 3 WON'T BE OUT FOR 4 MONTHS? I thought, oh, 4 months, that's not that long, it'll be here soon, it's not long enough to forget things between books, but now I have to wait more than 2,928 hours to get my hands on book 3 after reading the first 2 within 48 hours. I was going to end this with a dramatic KILL ME but that seems a bit too on the nose, so... idk... [insert grumpy Nate line here].

less David, more Mudge plz

I wish we got to see more of Alice and Iris before the kidnapping and everything cause even though the story is based around them, we never really get any time with them?? I didn't feel connected to these characters, so when I got to the big reveal, I dont think it was as meaningful as it could've been.... It was hinted that we'll find out more about Alice in the next book so I'm excited for that at least and the ending of this book was better than the 1st I think.
