I really enjoyed the second installment of the “One Of Us” series. It was full of some interesting twists and overall very enjoyable. I really liked the ending, as there was a part I was not expecting. However, I did feel like there were a few plot points that were entirely too predictable, and the writing at times felt very juvenile (even for YA). Overall, a pretty good and lighthearted read!

I loved this book. I INHALED it - read it within 12 hours. At one point I started expecting parts of the ending, but never the whole story. So I was actually a bit surprised in the end. I liked that lots. Would defenitely recommend this book!
