searobin's review against another edition

1.5

Based on my opinion of the first one, I should have skipped this one, but I already had it checked out and then couldn't sleep so it was the easiest thing to listen to. The whinyness continued, but somehow got even worse. Not somehow, miscommunication, which I absolutely hate. 

This book was incredibly frustrating, mostly because of the long and repetitive monologues from the two POV characters. They were exhausting and drove me nuts (and not in a good way like Dylan would, he and Sam were still the best part of this book). Mario and Mikey did not deserve that. At least there weren't a million HP and JKR references in this one...? So much of the book was just tortured repetition.

I should have DNFed it, but since I was still awake, I stuck with it... Though maybe it and my annoyance with everyone in it was part of the reason I couldn't sleep.

Definitely not a book for me.

Felt like we were repeating the first book all over again, just with Ben and Arthur switching roles.

STAR Rating: ★★★★

So, so happy everything worked out for Arthur and Ben but MAN, this would've been so much easier if Mikey and Mario weren't incredibly sweet
