If I hadn't read Sara Desai's book in the series I would have liked this more. I feel like it hit the same hallmarks as first book a little too often for comfort. Does Daisy have neurodivergent? Could they say it? Felt like she was a walking cliche and that crashed with personality they gave her in first book.

I really enjoyed this second instalment! It was even better than the first. This had lots of tropes used well - tragic backstory, miscommunications, friends to enemies to lovers - plus the awesome ensemble cast of the first book. I liked the love interest in this one a whole lot and also loved the quirkiness of the geeky heroine.
