I’m hoping now that Spencer suspects she may have something to do with Ali’s death that her storyline will be more interesting to me, as right now I’m not all that invested in what’s happening with her, which is a shame because her character has a lot of potential!

Everything in my first review stands, but I will say that I didn't enjoy Aria's storyline as much this time around. Spencer is still my favorite of the four girls though - her dynamic with her sister Melissa is so intriguing to me (and a little scary!) This story novel felt all over the place and very extreme, but it was SO FUN and hands down is my favorite one of first three! Be wary of the content warnings below though, some of these topics aren't handled in the ~best~ of ways to say the least...

Whew that ending!
This, like the first two in the series, is a popcorn book for me. I'm not particularly invested in any of the characters, but I do find some characters more intriguing than others (I enjoy Spencer's story and her family dynamic as well as Aria's story). I'm interested to see where the story goes from here!
