I laughed, I cried, I winced, and absolutely raced through this book. It’s even better than the first! Joyce’s character absolutely comes into her own in this wonderful sequel, Osman writes with such wit and charm, defo give this a read!

Wasn't as interesting as the first read. Maybe because it was written in the exact same way in structure, prose, character point of view. Maybe it was because there was less group development and it felt like a cast of individual characters that aren't super diverse in their thinking anymore. Or maybe it was because the ending was telegraphed the whole way through the book and had no semblance of mystery. In any case, I will continue the series if not just for the fact I've already bought the rest.

I LOVE this gang of misfits. They are interesting, adventurous, clever and hilarious! I have LOVED going on this journey with them a 2nd time and I can't wait to do it again in book 3.
