Not bad, better than the first in certain ways. I wish the characters (old and new) were a bit more fleshed out. I wanted to know more about them as people outside of the story. I was also hoping for more character development. I’ll definitely be reading the 3rd when it comes out in hopes of more development but I’m not betting on it.

I didn’t see the ending coming though, which was nice (crazy) surprise.

I absolutely tore through this book, and as much as I loved the main characters, I didn't like the mystery, or, to be fair, several mysteries that happened to be connected.

There was the Truth or Dare game,

the Intense Guy, the threats for Eli, and then the personal problems (Knox's family life and love life, Maeve's leukemia possibly returning, Phoebe's dad's death).

When you add in the other people at school, the cameos of the Bayside Four, and all the other side characters, it was quite overwhelming. 

I feel like the answer to the mysteries was a bit convoluted and trite. The fact that the ending was a bit vague and cut off makes it even worse; there are no answers about what happens next, what happens to their lives, which for me was a big plus in the first book.

Overall, worth reading for the amazing characters and world, but not for the actual mystery.

i enjoyed this book so much more than the first i’ll be honest. even tho i was able to figure out some stuff the satisfaction of knowing i was partially right paid off. i also really like the ending.

maeve and luis are my otp. i also briefly thought that owen was smarter than what he was letting on tooo so that was so interesting to see

What a sequel!! This book was just as good if not better than the first book! I loved how it focused on the slightly younger generation of the characters from book 1! The plot was also extremely interesting and fit with the first book perfectly. It also included all of the character growth, development, and complexity as the first book, including cameos of book 1 characters! The plot twists were also so unexpected, and just like the first book, my jaw dropped multiple times. I don’t know how Karen M McManus did it, usually sequels aren’t great, but this one was definitely amazing! I will be looking forward to reading any future books from KMM! This was definitely a win!
