if the first book was excellent, it's follow up is simply phenomenal. I devoured this beast of a book in three days and I can't stop thinking about it. The way the characters are written and the things that happen sent me right back to my days in high school (too long ago) and simply felt so very real, like these could easily have been real people living a story that actually happened. And the last 100-200 pages? I couldn't put it down. It was simply amazing.

I'd give more than 5 stars if I could. Amazing work Alyson.
