 C – “I also couldn’t help but notice that newborns aren’t that cute.” Finally, someone besides me who thinks that. They kind of look like aliens to me. Way to go, Nic, you’re even more like me this book than last book. Also, I wonder if the author ever read Tower of God, which also has an evil Rachel. 

A – The book was actually pretty light and cheery up until the incident with Mack, then it turned tense like the first book was. There were definitely moments that were tense before that though, like when people would call Nic a freak or something. 

W – Still enjoying the writing style, though I do wish the chapters were a little shorter so I could take breaks more often. 

P – This time, instead of Nic being in small-town Emerson in OK, they are in OMAS, in a bigger city where acceptance isn’t completely forthcoming from all people but hey, finally Nic has some friends. That couldn’t have happened back in Emerson, and I’m really enjoying reading about how Nic, Mack, Jenna, and Jacob all get along together. 

I – I was quite into this book after reading Ugly. I was curious how Nic’s life would change, and I’m glad to see it changed for the better. 

L – I thought the last book said it was in 2018? How is this book the 2022-23 school year? Also, for the book club, I swore they decided on 2 o’clock and not 3 o’clock? And I thought the guy’s name from the last book was Zach, not Zack. 

E – I truly enjoyed this book. Can’t wait to read Ugliest.
