Nobody is more disappointed than I am. I LOVED the first book but this one was such a far shot from that one. I was literally rolling my eyes and crawling through the book and then a friend finished it and told me it's not worth finishing either.

First off, the rebel storyline is boring. It's overused and expected. A lot of this whole book is expected and predictable, even a great part of the end plot twist. It's like, are you dumb Carmen? Can't you see this? I also like Dani wayyy more than Carmen so maybe that added to me not liking this book since it is narrated by Carmen. In the beginning, Carmen's story is being shoved upon us like we're expected to care but I honestly couldn't get myself to.

At some point Carmen and Dani sort of reconcile and it's very clear that they both love each other still but through the rest of the book we're made to go through the angst of does she love me or not from both sides and I couldn't stand it. Certain characters seemed different and more stupid in the second book *cough* Yasmin *cough* and I'm seriously so sad.

Yeah I was basically very frustrated and if you loved the first book I would recommend just reading a summary of this one and leave it at that.
