I loved this sequel - it had everything I enjoyed in the first one and more of the parents’ backstory I wanted. Excited to see what comes next

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the first one. While the first book felt a bit rushed, this one had the opposite problem as I found it dragged on without accomplishing much. The pacing was a bit slow for me and I wasn't very satisfied by the end. I didn't feel like enough happened.
As with the first book, the artwork was cute. I liked the inclusion of some new characters. However, I was a bit sad that Whitney didn't have as big of a role in this one. While it makes sense given where things ended in the first book, I think she carried a lot of the story in the previous book, which was definitely missing in this one.
Overall, this one was an okay read.
At the end of the book are previews for [b:Amy's Diary #1 Space Alien...Almost?|39863530|Amy's Diary #1 Space Alien...Almost?|Véronique Grisseaux|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1546380276l/39863530._SY75_.jpg|46147914], [b:Love In The Time of Assumption|35506435|Love In The Time of Assumption (Stitched #2)|Mariah McCourt|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1498279341l/35506435._SY75_.jpg|56914692] (read it! just do it!), and [b:Beauty Queen #1|37901594|Beauty Queen #1|Jennifer deGuzman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1536098963l/37901594._SX50_.jpg|59607060].

Fun follow-up to volume 1. Plenty of room for a sequel (fingers crossed). Still in LOVE with the art style.

I loved the introduction of a new witch in this sequel, and it was so great to see two friends (Sophia & Jake) work to understand Sophia's feelings for both Jack & Whitney. +1 for sexual diversity within a kids novel about ghosts and magick! Can't wait for the third book to come so we can see what happens next :)

This felt all over the place. The first three-quarters was a big information dump where nothing else happened and then the end was all action for about three seconds and then it was over.

I was provided an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This story starts a little after the end of GFF #1.
A new girl arrives in town and her mother is a psychic. She becomes fast friend with Sophia, our main character. And together, they do what they can to bring Whitney back.
This was still adorable.
The characters keep growing on me, new or old. They're simply so lovable and relatable, flaws and all.
The plot kept me on my toes and I really enjoyed this story.
I read it so fast too, I couldn't put it down.
I'm really looking forward to whatever comes next!

This was great fun.
A great follow up to the spectacular (or spooktacular? I'll see myself out) Trapped in the 90s. We uncover a bit more of the team's past and what happened with Sophia's parents. We meet some new characters in this book, namely Charlotte, the new psychic. Her addition to the book was a great inclusion.
The story was a bit weaker, but it would be hard to top the big story from the first book. It carries through the story in a great way, even if it doesn't have the same big mystery (there's still a mystery, it's just a bit hidden).
I can't wait for the next issue of this series. Still definitely a fan.
