This review will refer to my review of the first book here

So, this was much improved. Unlike the first, there was no real preaching, which was much appreciated. I don't like being preached at, even if its something I agree with.
Unlike the first book, there was also conflict and character development, which was a huge improvement. There was tension, I was actually curious on what was going to happen instead of waiting for something interesting to actually happen.
But what makes this earn its 4th star are the journeys both Jane\Pepper and Lovelace\Sidra took. Similar but each unique to themselves.
A few of the ideas that come up are things like being shaped by others, finding your identity, and independence. There may have even been some body dysmorphia in there as well
If this had been the first book, I might be eager to continue with the rest of the series. But the actual first book left such a bad taste in my mouth that its dampening my enthusiasm. I likely will, but I need a break first.
–edit–
I read reviews of the next book. Nope, that's it for me. Lets leave this at a high note.
