The sequel did not hit like the first book. The chaotic nature of the family and plot was too much, which overshadowed the humour and the driving narrative of the plot. WHYYYY couldn't Meddy just tell Nathan what was transpiring? He is already implicit in a MURDER, I don't think he's going to be surprised by much else. The ending was rushed and surreal. I do not think all that hijinks would have occurred only to have that type of ending. I could see this being a great tv show still but as a book - meh.
