Absolutely sensational! What a worthy successor this was to the first book in the series. I'm in awe.

Got approved for this just last night and immediately jumped into it the first chance I got and before I knew it I was done reading. Its so bingeable and interesting, you can't keep it down once you start. The plot, the pacing, the characters, the writing... All of them working in perfect harmony to make the story come together.

Though I did feel that the main perpetrator was super easy to guess and I had it figured out in the first 25% of the book, I do see why it stretched the way it did. The reveal was satisfying and the reason for the leads to take so long to figure out who did it made sense as well. Very thoughtfully woven so that even when you think the characters are being stupid by ignoring the obvious, you get why they're sort of in denial about it, especially Seokga.

The romance was so feelsy and I was furiously highlighting through their interactions so I could go back to them whenever I felt like it. The ensemble is wonderful and I loved all the side characters but no one more than Hajun, my cute lil K-Pop idol.

It was interspersed with a plethora of laugh out loud moments and I especially loved Seokga's dry humour so much, just as I did in the first book. He's a sarcastic diva and I love that about him.

All in all a definite must read. I would recommend to everybody!!
