I thought this was plenty of fun despite being less "silly" than the first book. The stakes are astronomical by the end so I can only imagine the craziness that will ensue in the next installment. Finlay and Vero are basically Dumb and Dumber, though. 💀 All they do is bury each other in deeper shit, which fuels the comedy but can get exasperating after a while (I had to laugh at

Finlay entrusting all her money to Vero and then barely caring when it all got lost.

Girl, what the hell?). I still don't care about the romance.

I recommend the audiobook!

While I didn't love this one quite like I did the first one, it was still really fun!! I didn't totally hate the love triangle (Team Nick), and I adore Vero and Finlay's relationship. Will definitely be continuing in this series.

Probably the best sequel I’ve read in years! Finlay & co are such a fun group of characters and you can’t help but to devour this as quickly as you can. I would definitely rank the first book higher, but this one is just as fun and twisty but with slightly less payoff at the end. This is forgivable, though, as it’s in favor of setting up (hopefully) a few more books. The ending works well, it’s the perfect balance of tied-up loose ends and cliffhangers. Can’t wait for the next one!
