Now why would you ruin such a good/interesting relationship dynamic with a rape scene? I would have liked that it wasn't included.
Still, really fun read overall.
The series was better though.

The characters are much more consistent on the second book. Though I wish that Agatha had reached the conclusion that Sophie wasn't that much of a good friend on the first one.
Another thing that needs to be kept in mind while reading is that the author doesn't really understand nor looked into the girl experience nor how feminism really works. A pity, it could have really been a good discussion.
All in all, good premise, bad execution, just like the first.

Interesting premise, but full of plotholes and inconsistencies. Still entertaining though.
Also, this characters shouldn't really be 12-16, but older...
