Enjoyable second installment in the Montague siblings series. I don't think it was quite as good as the first book but that may be because I found Monty a lot more loveable than Felicity. She is so painfully "not like the other girls" and the first half of the book beats you over the head with the fact that she is a woman and so the men ignore her. Once the story got going, it was just as exciting and fun as the first. I also liked the discussions of Felicity's (what I assume is) asexuality. Looking forward to the 3rd installment :)

Obviously Felicity wants to become a doctor and so there is a lot of discussions of medical procedures as well as her tending to some serious injuries which often involve a lot of blood.

This one lost me midway though. The change in tone

, basically at the point where they leave Zurich on,

made it feel like 2 separate books to me. And, while I appreciate the ~strong female lead/ace rep/all of that, of course I do, most of it seemed very heavy-handed and clunk-ily stuffed into the narrative via long internal monologues from the main character. 

Perhaps this is another case of me not loving YA as a genre but continuing to read it because it is both more lighthearted and includes a wider variety of queer narratives than the other genres I like...
