Loved loved loved reading this book. Pip's behavioural changes throughout the book leading to the book's climax was shocking but looking at it back, it isn't out of character. The way Holly Jackson has connected all the three books together is insane

It was a darker sequel to the first book. I liked the plot and the ending was really good. The book was also more heart-wrenching than the earlier one. Highly recommended!
