This was even better than the first book, and now I need the third book! Themes of friendship and loss were beautifully depicted. Angelo’s writing is visually descriptive yet simplistic, and some lines hit hard. Angelo can make one sentence so impactful, which is why this book out of the series is my favorite so far.

“To anyone who has lost someone dear. Time may pass, but the grief never does.”

The plot twist? The mysteries? The ending?! I need the next book! I laughed, I cried, I couldn’t put it down & the short chapters were a plus. Once again enjoyed the chapter images, made reading a fun guessing game again. Recommend to any dystopia fan. Will reread & can’t wait for book 3! Sea shells have a new meaning for me.

Very rarely is book 2 better than book 1, but this one was. Still my favorite dystopia series. Enjoyed the character development in this book. The message of this book is going to stay with me for awhile… made me really reflect on life and the concept of time. Looking forward to book 3.
