2.0

I was hoping for a grumpy-sunshine dynamic, especially because book #5 set us up for it and built up so much expectation between these two characters, but this was a really frustrating read. And I found Josie so unlike herself. It seemed that the storyline for these two characters was sacrificed to set us up for books 7-8 to come.
