This is a little messier than the first one in terms of plot structure, but incredibly effective as the second in a series. Alex Stern really is one of the most compelling characters I've ever encountered, unapologetic and yet spending every moment at war with herself. And I won't lie, I am obsessed with the dynamic between Alex and Darlington.
