Smoke by Ellen Hopkins

2.0

I had to read the sequel and was incredibly disappointed with everything about this book. They switched up the narrator, and it just wasn’t the same, and the story itself felt almost unnecessarily violent and bleak. It was hard to get through this one. The small silver lining was it at least had a decent ending, but overall, it was almost like too much trauma was happening all at once.
