I loved the first book and couldn't wait for the next book to come out. When I finally got it from the library I immediately began to read it, so glad that I could return to some of my favorite characters. Sadly I was disappointed. I couldn't even finish the book because I just wasn't interested. The relationship between Violet and Jay escalated so fast that I didn't get to enjoy them simply being a couple. I also didn't agree with the way Violet was pushing everyone away, determined to do everything herself. This book simply didn't pull me in the way the first book did, and I might take the time later to try and re-read it but it won't be for awhile.
