When Rachel Lynn Solomon hits she hits!!! Very believable characters. I'm so over YA characters making dumb choices under the guise of immaturity and these characters are written SO well, with problems and personilities written in a way that makes sense!!! Very impressed at this sequel!

Great insight from the author. As someone with hearing loss it was very relatable. This is a memoir from someone under 30, so it only scratched the surface but I really enjoyed it!
