The Year We Hid Away

I adored the first book in this series, and so was really excited about this one. It's well-written and the main characters have to deal with situations that are incredibly complex. I appreciated the messiness of both Scarlet's and Bridger's situations, and I was so fascinated to see how Bowen would flesh out Scarlet's in particular. Although there were some strange plot twists that seemed random and didn't really contribute to the progress of the plot or growth of the characters, this was a satisfying read.
