2 stars if not for the line "Ronan's second secret was Adam" which deserved an additional one star. I started having higher expetations, not high but higher than my expectations for the first book, for this book and it was going well, I think, until it wasn't anymore. Everyone just started being (more) annoying;

for one, I wish Gansey would stop saying "I wish people didn't see me as just my money" like I would kill to switch places with you, you ungrateful ass. If you wanna be poor so bad, be my guest. I wish Adam didn't say, "Nice, Blue. Gansey was right. You can be a raging feminist." because that was just, no. I wish Blue would stop being herself because everything about her annoys tf out of me. I don't care if you think that was misogynistic. Open your eyes, people! She's fucking annoying! She kissed Noah while she was leading Adam on, she didn't think about Adam before doing so. Then, she had THAT moment with Gansey just right after they talked about Adam. And she was right that she had the choice if she doesn't want to kiss Adam but that anger was misplaced because she knows Adam had a point. Adam made it clear he liked her and I wish she did the bare minimum and told him the truth, especially after she realized she doesn't really have feelings for Adam at all.

But I still like Ronan and that's the only reason why I'm continuing this stupid series.
