Well, this was a rather quick read. When I requested for this ARC I was not aware that this was a sequel. Fortunately, I was able to grasp the gist of the story and what happened in the previous book. On the downside, I wasn't able to experience the character development that may have occurred in the previous book and any drama that was glossed over in this book.

Overall, I was not much of a fan of this book. I found myself skimming through the pages because of how bored I was. None of the characters appealed to me, and so many stupid mistakes were made. For example, Clem catches feelings for a boy she met online from Hong Kong, but she has a boyfriend. She is aware that her boyfriend is uncomfortable with this surprisingly budding friendship, yet she doesn't completely stop herself from catching new feelings. Another thing is how so many uneventful things begin to happen to Clem, all of which I did not care about, but at least it was all fixed by one simple blog post, thus clearing all the drama.

I feel like even if I had read the prequel, I probably still wouldn't have enjoyed this series because of the weak plot, weak characters, and the overall juvenile tone.

This was not for me. It was a very promising idea, but something about the characters’ voices and the writing style just rubbed me the wrong way; as I’m currently in a bit of a time crunch with my reading, I figured that it might be best to DNF.
