There were times I really enjoyed this book and other times that I was so frustrated with Locke and Jean. Once it got a little over halfway through I started enjoying it more but the first half brought it down for me.

Certainly flawed and a little jarring and deceptive in its storytelling, but damn if I didn't laugh and cry and have a blast

This was definitely a weaker book than the first, but I can't bring myself to rate it any lower because I still loved it so much

5.0

Admittedly, the first hundred pages can be a bit of a drag. However, after that the story really picks up. The book retains the charms of it predecessors with it witty dialogues and frantic pace. The unpredictability of the story literally really had me second guessing at whats to come next. A great read and eagerly looking forward to the next book in the series.
