I have the same issues with this book that I had with the first book, Marked. I still really wanted to love this series. The slurs were noticeably less in this installment but still existed. I didn't notice as many fatphobic comments, but the language used in this series still just doesn't sit right with me. It is not justifiable to the story and therefore should have been removed.
The story itself got a lot more confusing with this one, and there seemed to be so much going on toward the end that it was difficult to keep up with the main plot.
The characters themselves are okay, but I feel that they need more development. The only character so far that I feel has had a decent shot at decent character development is Aphrodite - and she's not even part of the "Nerd Herd."
Overall, this was a solid filler book and definitely leaves more questions to be explored in future installments.

Minor: Body shaming and Homophobia
Generally this series has a ton of fatshaming/body shaming and ED shaming, there is homophobia and it is addressed (although it is address badly imo).
