The majority of this book was set while they were on a school trip to Paris, which was really fun. It was a change of pace from their usual setting and gave them more opportunities to discuss things that came up. It portrayed the experience of going on mildly supervised high school trips with your friends and acquaintances SO well
Stumbled down pretend alleyways / Cheap wine, make believe it's champagne / I was taken by the view
Like we were in Paris / Like we were somewhere else / Like we were in Paris, oh / We were somewhere else
There was also more exposition about Nick and Charlie's friends in this book: characters from the previous books are coming into their own.
Every book in this series has tackled a new hard concept: this one talks about self harm and disordered eating (which I think will progress into the next book). I'm impressed with the level of complexity that can be portrayed in such a short amount of time/space, with the amount of nuance needed to discuss hard topics. It's a bit on the nose, but all in all, a totally reasonable direction to take the book/story, in my opinion.
My ranking so far of the books in this series: 1>3>2. I'm getting really excited to watch the show after I finish book 4!
