Review:

This was much more of a young adult novel than the predecessor.  All the same, I am not sure how I would feel about my young adult child reading it.  There are decidedly adult themes and both clever and interesting approaches to feelings of shame and inadequacy.  The plot became transparent and exceedingly predictable.  I'm not sure if I will read the next in the series.
