If you thought things couldn't get any crazier and more traumatic and out of hand after reading Happy Head, you're really gonna be in for it with Happy Head.
The top 10 from the Happy Head program get to move on to the next phase which is some Lord Of The Flies island adventure with super insane challenges and eugenics.
While the stuff happening to the characters was completely absurd, the scary part was that it didn't seem that unrealistic that it could really happen. Seeing the psychological effects of abuse, manipulation, and cult-like behaviour on these poor teenagers was really scary!!
I kinda wish there had been a third book because the conclusion felt a bit rushed to me, but all in all this was a good conclusion to the story and a duology that is very much worth reading.
Thanks to Penguin Teen Canada for the advanced copy prior to the North American publication date.
