3.5/5
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!

A major page-turner! Can’t wait for the next installment in this series, because this one leaves off on a bit of a cliff hanger. But the story is addicting!

it didn't hate it. at first I didn't enjoy it and wanted to put it down but with some friendly peer pressure from my friends I picked it back up and pushed through. the beginning was slow and there wasn't a defined thing the characters needed to figure out making me just hate on annoying side characters that had egos bigger than bayview. but one I got past that and started to read more I feel head over heels for most characters. Maeve and Luis, Knox, phoebe from time to time, and even the very rarely brought up Mr.Santos.

3.0

wow. the ending really got me lol. but i miss the bayview four, i feel like i was expecting more of them in this book. and i really felt like

Emma was just another Janae, in on the whole thing, very upset, spills everything at the end of the book

. but i’m not mad at this. it shocked me just like the first one. i felt like i would’ve liked it more if bronwyn and nate were in it tho, so i’m always kind of biased. bronwyn + nate 4ever
