Because It Is My Blood by Gabrielle Zevin

4.0

Not as good as the first, but still really good. The Mexico scenes seemed to deviate a lot from the main plot though and I could have used some more info on what was going on in NYC rather than info on how to cut of cacao pods with a machete. I also didn't like the whole "Oh yeah, let's legalize chocolate after it's been illegal for who-knows-how long" thing, it was a strange change after the "NO CHOCOLATE OR ELSE" message of the first book.
