Definitely better than the first book. Peggy and Orfeo are my nonbinary beloveds. 
However. The characters still had many moments of unlikeability, things that seemed important were dropped instantly after a small resolution, and it felt like certain beats of the story were either severely underdeveloped or skipped over entirely.
Not a bad read, and definitely wasn't a slog like its predecessor, but also still nowhere near what I know Alexis Hall can write  (Boyfriend Material set such a high standard).
