A delightful read. It’s hard to judge this reading this directly after loving the first book. 

I particularly liked the interactions and authentic greyness with parents and among the secondary characters. I also liked the final act didn’t hinge on a grand gesture.

Re-reading the series to get ready for the 4th and final book. I really liked the dynamic of the main characters and I was rooting for Lucie to find someone that she could rely on (she takes on a lot of responsibility). I found the order of the series interesting, and feel like her story should have been last. There are some issues with the book concerning diversity (e.g., cultural issues and insensitivities), and negative characterizations of lgbtq+ characters, which I think should  definitely be discussed if this book is chosen for a book club.
