See How They Run (Embassy Row #2)
I'm going to murder someone now.
I dont know why Ive waited so long to review this book. I finished it in December, nearly a month ago. I really need to step up my game. I guess its just because Ive been so behind in reviews lately, and Im reading faster than Im reviewing. Oops. (I cant help that The Selection series is so addicting that I must keep reading instead of taking a break to review it)I think this was my MOST anticipated read of 2015.

Hmm. Okay, I can see how others enjoyed this one. Very similar to the first book in the sense of content. It did still have a sad theme, though. Understandable, of course, but still not necessarily a happy plot by any means.
3.5 stars.There is no denying that this is no The Gallagher Girls.The story isnt the same, the characters arent the same, the pacing isnt the same, and even the writing doesnt quite read the same.But if Ally Carter does something well, its create completely distinct storylines.This is the sequel to Embassy Row.
