Never Fade by Alexandra Bracken
Did not finish book. Stopped at 56%.

After getting through the first one with ease, I just couldn't get into this sequel. I was bored, and found myself having to force myself to read it as I really don't like DNFing a book. Nothing against the author or story, I just couldn't get into it and feel like this didn't need to be a series, it would have been fine as a stand alone.

Andy Andrews has always been able to, in my opinion, almost perfectly capture a self help disguised as a story and I love it. Forgiveness and acceptance being two big main things for me, personally. Loved the story! Have read this multiple times and it doesn't get old.
