What a sequel!! This book was just as good if not better than the first book! I loved how it focused on the slightly younger generation of the characters from book 1! The plot was also extremely interesting and fit with the first book perfectly. It also included all of the character growth, development, and complexity as the first book, including cameos of book 1 characters! The plot twists were also so unexpected, and just like the first book, my jaw dropped multiple times. I don’t know how Karen M McManus did it, usually sequels aren’t great, but this one was definitely amazing! I will be looking forward to reading any future books from KMM! This was definitely a win!
