I thought this was a cool concept overall, but there were elements of the book that I didn’t particularly enjoy.
Firstly, Becca was a serious brat and way too clingy to Sophie. I get that they’re twins but having someone not allow you to feel like an individual while also having the parents back them up was very frustrating to read about.
I’m not a fan of the cliffhanger that ended the story, but that’s just my preference in general. I wish the issue with Angie’s dad and Latrice would’ve been solved. I also don’t understand the conversation at the end. Without spoiling, the fact that one person in a relationship was going against the other was very weird.
Despite all that, having pins that give you great powers is pretty cool as someone who myself loves pins. I also like that though they all shared this thing together, they still had their individual storylines as they tried to navigate their own issues.

A great newfound magical powers book for fans of Amari and Harry Potter but this time in the form of the newest craze - pins! A case of lovable characters who are brought together by a mysterious cause and form a new found family despite social odds. I only wish it didn't end on such a cliffhanger!
