" I thought I would try reading the second book just to give this series another shot. I love Melody Carlson's books so much that it pains me to think that she could have churned out a crappy series. Maybe it's supposed to be targeted more towards middle schoolers or something. The teens in this series just seem so underdeveloped. They said "right" and "whatever" more times than I could count - which some teens probably do, but for the sake of the dialogue, I think that should have been limited. In the "True Colors" series, Carlson makes the teen characters seem so relatable and authentic; in this series, they just seem to fall flat. Also, the characters are so limited and one-dimensional, except for Taylor towards the very end. I felt like all the characters were portrayed very stereotypically and that they were either fully good or fully bad, with no in between. I would have given this book just one star except that the last 2 chapters and the epilogue were finally starting to get a little interesting. "
