This book was even more heart wrenching than the first! I feel so deeply for both Lila and Elena. My heart broke every time Lila destroyed Elena's excitement. And yet Elena's constant need for both her approval but also need to be better than drove me nuts. So many deeply complex and flawed characters made the book so rich and beautiful.
