3.0

I didn't really like the second book. It was a constant back and forth between Maggie and Caleb. They both left on good terms, meet again in the program, agree to just be friends, get closer, push each other away again. Then Maggie wants Caleb and her to get back together, Caleb shows himself completely cold, then they both want more again. And so on, and so on. It pretty much got on my nerves after a while. Also, Leah, Caleb's sister, behaving like an ass and everyone just accepting that Caleb took the blame for the accident, I thought was really bad at some point. At first, ok, but even when Leah found out that Maggie knew who actually hit her with the car, she didn't even think to talk to Maggie about it. Well, that changed at the end. Because Julio, a total stranger, was able to convince her to confess. Very illogical.

But I loved the story about the group and the young people who took part in it. How they all slowly became a little family and were still friends after the program was nice.
