I didn't actually remember what the details of the first book was. It seemed that I couldn't believe Nora's and Patch's relationship at first. How she was so in love with him. But I guess that's typical for sophomores. Also, some of the things that the characters were doing seemed too old of them. However, I thought the rest of the book was well written, albeit confusing (for me at least). I wish Scott had a little better character development and wasn't shrouded in too much mystery. The Marcie story line was a tad unrealistic as well. Why would she do hateful things to Nora and then invite her to a party as well? Overall, I'm not sure if I'll read the next book. I thoroughly enjoyed the first book when I read it, I devoured it. I'm not sure if I grew up a little since I read it or if it just isn't my cup of tea anymore. Who knows. Overall, If you are under 18, this book is for you.
