Reread 2025:
Continuing from my review of the first book, I also had to upgrade the rating here to reflect how obsessed I am with these books even though they may objectively be bad.
Favourite parts of this reread: Riko roast!! The insanity of the Ravens, why is no one laughing at them? Finally understanding the phone scene better than on my first read. Kevin and Neil's devastating talk after the banquet. The team growing together more and more (Halloween party!). Discovering the infamous "Thanksgiving scene" does not actually take place on Thanksgiving but TWO (2) WEEKS before that??? Also: discovering all hints of Neil actually already feeling something for Andrew throughout the book, even though he doesn't understand what exactly it is he's feeling yet. But he's so obsessed with him and constantly trying to find out more about him? It's great.
