2.0

Just as cliché and dated as the first book. I would have loved this as a kid but I can't get over how bland the characters are. Frankie and Cleo's perspective feel very similar, just with a different level of wealth and popularity. I did appreciate the extra perspectives compared to the first book, especially as it focuses more on the actual Monster High characters rather than the book-only protagonist. I also absolutely gasped at the implied plot twist at the end so sure, I'm very engaged reading this but is it good? Yeah, no.
