Sad, mysterious, tense. I couldn’t put it down. 

Like I said for the first one, this book achieves what it set out to achieve— to be a Team Jacob alternative in a market that craved it. What this book also achieves is that sense of urgency about being a teen, where every little thing is life or death, where first love is conflated with forever love, where the concept of escapism is preferable to real life (news flash, that third part never stops, it just becomes more unobtainable.)

I do feel like Olivia dropped out of everyone’s priority somewhat suddenly. I would have expected Grace to be more concerned for her best friend / jealous & fixated on Olivia achieving what she (Grace) craved.

The intense cliffhanger ending means OF COURSE I’m picking up book 3.
