Ok, what to say about this one... The story is a good continuation of the first book, everything that happens makes sense and the writing is still engaging, but it's a completely different sort of story.
It focuses mostly on Cathy's relationship drama and there is a LOT of that, since apparently everyone finds her irresistible from the age of 15... I found the examples of 'romantic' relationships here way more troubling than any of the stuff in the first book! It's only really in the very end of the book that we get any of the darkness of the first book though.
