For how much Rhiannon and A constantly go on about the ethics of A’s condition, and for how much Rhiannon guilt trips A about being too friendly with X in the end especially, it’s strange that no one seems to have a problem with her entire relationship with Alexander being founded on false memories created when he was body snatched by A. How is that not a violation?? If A is going to wring their hands every time they make a host body miss debate practice or whatever, how is choosing a body to be your girlfriend’s replacement boyfriend not way worse??? And in the end, it’s revealed that Rhiannon told Alexander about A and they both regularly go on trips to visit A in Washington. Did her telling him the truth about A include telling him what A did in his body when they first met? Wild.

Anyway, this novel moves away from the things that interested me about the original concept, and is essentially just a lot of A and Rhiannon being dramatic when almost all of their relationship problems could be solved by just a) telling her friends the truth about A (literally what consequences could this have?) and b) graduating high school and thus having independence and freedom.

What I Loved:
-The lense of diversity is here again (like it was in the first book). The best day for this is day 6100 this time around.
-The analysis of right/wrong, morality, and love is great. I enjoyed those storylines/arcs.

Who Should Read It:
-People intrigued by the concept will appreciate how it’s played out.
-Readers who enjoyed book 1 and want more.
-If you like morality questions in your books (even knowing you may not get definitive answers)

I thought it was cool that this book introduced so many more people who moved into other bodies like A. I only gave it 4 stars, because I didn't particularly care for the ending (except for the sweet message about A and Rihannan being each other's "constant") as well as the behavior of X at the end. He was too friendly with A, after the majority of the book setting him up like an evil person. It also seemed weird that he would just die if a body rejected him. It seemed like that wouldn't have been too different from other times when he wasn't able to stay in a body after midnight because the body wants to be back.
