I am in between 3.75 & 4 stars for this book but I’ll be generous & go with 4. I liked the plot of this book but it was far too slow with too many unnecessary scenes for it to be anything higher than a 4. The end was a fun surprise but wasn’t enough to redeem the book. I also didn’t like Bryce as much in this book as she came off bratty at times, which is a shame because I really liked her character in book 1. Book 1 should’ve been a standalone imo, that would’ve been perfect.
