adventurous challenging emotional lighthearted

3.75

Cozy YA book with a great plit and good characters except for the main character Briana. I found her to be extremely annoying, whiny, and dramatic. All the other characters acted fine in situations under high pressure, and then you get sentences like "the room is tilting in front of my eyes" in response to being asked to stay home. There were some good and serious themes, and the mc wasn't always that horrible.

AHHHHHHHH. There are drugs in these books, one of those books where you look down and have read 100 pages and didn't notice. I think this book did a good job building on the themes and relationships of the first one while expanding into new territory. I really liked the dynamics of the quartet we have for most of the book. Also can I say how much I love Alice. I'm so glad she's in this book more.

Spoiler

Also are we going poly ending?? I may be delusional but I think we could...

Bree stressed me out so bad in this book. The focus on race was integrated well into the plot. I was invested in the lowkey love triangle, and the new and old secondary characters really popped. It ended on a cliffhanger. I’m excited for the third book.
