I really enjoyed this. I know it is the 2nd book in a series and I have not read the first one, but I was able to get hooked after just a few chapters. I love that the story follows a variety of characters and relationships, I love the humor, I love the attention to detail, I love all of the characters and became very invested in each of their stories. I found it really funny in parts and even got a little teary eyed once or twice! Now I am looking forward to reading more from Eloisa!
