This book was terribly predictable, just like the first… but I still enjoyed myself while reading it. I rolled my eyes so hard so many times. 

The writing structure was strictly YA. With minimal emotional maturity and introspective moments. So much detail was paid to clothing and food descriptions and not enough to the characters development. 

But for all these annoyances…. I still had fun reading it. 

I don’t know, I don’t make the rules.

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan children’s publishing group| Feiwel & Friends for the eARC of this book. All opinions are my own.
