Hm. Here's an example of why I don't usually read YA - these characters were so dramatic. SO DRAMATIC. I would say they were "acting like it was life or death" but it actually was life or death ...... but depicted in such a black-and-white way. Other things that irked me:
- Parts 1 and 2 feel like separate books. I think they should have been.
- The audiobook narrator for Katherine's POV (I'm sorry!!)
- Lots of repetitive language/phrases.
- Twists were not as twisty - a bit more predictable than the first book.

Things I liked:
- Having a Katherine POV - it made me understand and like the character more.
- Various LGBT reps!
- The ending! I thought things were wrapped up nicely, but not too neatly, which was right on point.

I don't think YA Hannah would have had qualms at all about this book. 5 stars from her 😂
