This was one of the best (if not the best) sequel to a book I’ve ever read. I could argue the first works perfectly as a stand alone, but the sequel adds to the story and ties up loose ends all while maintaining the same magic and whimsy of the first novel. I love how Milford writes her mysteries and reveals, it’s so captivating. I highly recommend this series to anyone (any age) who wants a good time, a good mystery, and a good story.
I’m not making hot takes by saying this book is amazing. The audiobook is absolutely incredible and I can honestly say I think Acevedo is a brilliant writer. I highly recommend everyone read this book and especially that they listen to the author read it.
Really glad I decided to borrow this book on Libby on a whim. The story beautifully written and extremely engaging. (Would’ve read it faster if I hadn’t just had my wisdom teeth removed)
I very highly recommend this one. As a white person, I found Quinn’s struggle with his relationship to police brutality really compelling. The first person narrative added this level of intimacy that made me not only wonder what the story meant for the characters but what it meant for me. The book left me with some really important questions. In what ways have I said or done something unintentionally racist? Who is a racist and what does it take to actually fight racism today? What can I do to help the fight? When do I need to take a stand and when do I need to take a step back? How do I continue to educate myself and grow?

Definitely took me a hot minute to figure out what exactly was going on, but I really enjoyed this book. Some of the language and vocabulary went way over my head and made it hard to understand/process at first, but it is a beautifully written story.
