Much much better than the last one, to my relief. Definitely better than the last one. I got weird looks from my mother after I started screaming when I read the very last word. How this book turned out was really unexpected. The surprises just kept coming and coming. I cannot rest until I read the next one.

 Julian vs. Alex? 
 Who are you rooting for? 
 By the way, I've always known that Alex was alive. It's like this tiny, nagging feeling of hope scratching its way to the surface. And also, I've always known that a love triangle was about to proceed when Julian Fineman entered the building. You were right, Lena. Love will be the death of you. Wink wink. 
 Things just got more exciting. I'm stoked as balls! Oh, the drama the next book must have!
