This was a quick but inoffensive book. Did the original need a sequel? Not really no. Was this as good as the first book? Not really no. But it was still well written, still had a similar structure, and good themes, but I felt it was nowhere near as impactful as the first book, near as imaginative as the first book (the heavens felt much more creative in the first book) and I felt the messages were stronger in the first book. If you liked the first book, this will be a quick, easy read that just doesn't quite live up to the original.
Graphic: Death and Death of parent
Moderate: Pregnancy, Domestic abuse, and Abandonment
