2.5

I liked a lot of things about this, but in the end I don’t know if anything from it will stick with me. Maybe it’s a product of the length, but this felt almost superficial (unfortunate as its pretty much just a study of human character)

This was cute, but boy did it take me a while to warm up to Tia (maybe even the entire book). I know everything feels dramatic as a teen but cut your mom a break, please.

I had so much fun with this. It was a little long there in the middle, but I loved the constant wandering and the wrap up.

Maybe in comparison to the last book in this series ANYTHING would have pleased me, but I thought this was cute
