1 hour 9 minutes - I am tempted to rate this book higher than 3.25 stars but I will refrain. What I will say is that this book was far more cohesive and well-written than the previous. All the stories meshed better together, and the overarching plot was easier to follow. That is not to say that I wasn't confused - I still was, but less so than in the first book. There are lots of problematic elements to this book - its portrayal of mental health issues is still fairly atrocious, but I can appreciate that as a whole, this book is better than the first.
