This book was fine but not nearly as strong as the first book.  The main character was a little too confident and a little OP for my tastes. It really bothers me that she's ready to give up everything she loves to go follow some dude she fell in love with. I also disliked how neatly everything was wrapped up and most of the characters added in this book served very little purpose.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 27%.
It was very well- written, but the small town mob mentality against someone who wax other-ized hit too close to home for me and I couldn't handle so many emotions.

At times she belabors the point but overall she brings up a lot of good points and is very relatable.
