A solid installment to the series. I love Pip & Ravi. Certain parts of this book felt overly melodramatic which took me out of it slightly. The ending came out of left field(!) and I didn't love it. This book didn't have the same emotional impact on me as the first book in this series.

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.
