Very fun by still by far my least favorite of the series. I almost fully skipped it on this reread. But it's still so fun and imaginative, and I genuinely enjoyed Elizabeth and Christina's friendship. Jaclyn Moriarty is still working on finding distinct character voices in this one, but she is already excellent at subtly drawing characters and especially family situations. They all feel so real.  The romances were unfortunately all incredibly uninteresting to me. I did not care whatsoever about any part of any of them. Shame that Christina dates that asshole down the line in the next book, though. He's definitely worse than Derek.
