The narrator for Pip got annoying. I think it was a combination of her character and the way the narrator tried to portray her that got me irritated. The story in this book was alright, but didn't appeal to me as much as the first book. There were definitely more twists and turns that made it exciting.

I do not like Ant and Lauren.

I think this was well done. 
I felt there was good character development, although Pip has so many of her original qualities she has changed so much through what has happened ed to her. This book didn't pretend that she just dealt with it all easily and moved on the same girl as before, which I think a lot of books do. 
I feel a little funny about Ravi being in his 20s and Pip still in school, Yes they are sweet but I think this is a bad think to make seem okay. 
There were quite a few parts that were almost forgotten about towards the end and while I know this is a trilogy, I do feel some things should have been wrapped up better. 
Another mystery that I didn't guess the ending of from the start so I enjoyed this.

I loved the first book already, but this was somehow even better? I liked the inner monologue Pip had, and how you could see the change in her as the book went on.
