This is a re-read for me, and I always remembered really enjoying this one. The story picks up almost immediately from the first and features one of my favorite book themes—boarding schools. I enjoyed the first book but this one kept my interest even more.

The school setting is fun and I enjoyed the new characters introduced there, particularly Abby, Miss Stevens, and Louis. Ruby faces many hurdles at the school, usually done by her vindictive twin sister, Gisselle. There’s also, of course, tragedy.

I remembered a good bit about this one but not everything, so that was a nice surprise. I knew the big twist so it was interesting seeing that unfold. The climax and overall ending are a great close for this book.

Ruby makes plenty of mistakes in this one but she’s still a pretty solid main character who I enjoyed reading about. A great sequel to the first book.
