It was interesting to hear how their personalities evolved when they were growing up around their parents vs when they were in Their World.
A very dark, compelling continuation of the Wayward children, and I can't wait to continue the series.

Much of the book deals with Jack and Jill's parents forcing them into gender specific 'roles'. While neither character is trans, they are both girls who are not allowed to be true to themselves. Adult/minor relationship -lorenmarie7's review against another edition

I enjoyed the tragedy that this was from the start, and how I was left hoping for a better outcome as I got attached to certain characters. A lot of people failed Jack and Jill along the way and they didn't have much control. That being said Jack still chose Jill at a detriment to herself. This only solidify my dislike for Jill as a person, though the book does a good job at explain that she, too, is a victim of her circumstances. The choices she was able to make were terrible, and she never thought of herself as being at fault.
I also disliked that
