an excellent sequel to an amazing first book. I loved how the MC grew and evolved during her time in Elsewhere
I never thought I would read such a book like this. I thought this was gonna be about children and Christmas vibes. Boy was I off, but I'm totally happy with what it turned out to be. This book really had that touch of reality about stuff that most books or people don't talk about that certain others go through.
