Every bit as good as the first book! Eleanor seems to have found a place to settle, but her desire to be "unseen" is becoming more and more difficult. When Celeste disappears and a picture of Eleanor appears on the news, Celeste's parents come to find Eleanor. Meanwhile, David's father, an abusive alcoholic, returns from active duty, and everything Eleanor has worked for is turned upside-down.
The only disappointing thing about this book is having to wait until the last book in the trilogy comes out!

A great sequel to Eleanor. We meet the girl that Eleanor became and what happens when Eleanor is found out and mistaken for Celeste. The descriptions of David and Eleanor kissing are so descriptive, you imagine Johnny wrote them when he was a teenager making out with his girl.
But. The book is not without its flaws. When you write, you need to make everything believable and Johnny misses some things such as Eleanor and the Venn's sitting down to watch college football on Saturday in January. Or a Congressman in Nebraska pressuring a local Sheriff and state child services in Wyoming.
If you can get past these or see them as minor issues as I did, you'll find Celeste a great read.
