Willa Fox was told to stay out of trouble. In fact, it was an order from a very serious juvenile court judge.
However, that was before Willa found her house ransacked and a mysterious email from her mother telling Willa she had to leave Paradise Valley for a while and not to come looking for her. Willa knows her mom’s in danger and that no one at school will miss her after her recent sticky-fingered stunts with the Glitterati. So with the help of her pal Tre and with her degenerate crush Aidan as her wingman, Willa violates her probation and hits the California highway in search of her mom.
But when Willa and Aidan’s journey turns dangerously criminal and they wind up being the focus of a national manhunt, they realize it’s sometimes easier to escape the law than the truth—and that everything Willa thought she knew about her mom, and her life, was wrong.
Two years ago I read and reviewed Pretty Crooked book one (read my review of it here) and I was very curious what would happen in the second book.
At first this sequel started out a little slow for me, and through the whole book I missed the fast paced sparkle and plot twists that book one had. This book is not set again at Valley Prep and the Glitterati are not featured in person in this book. The plot is mostly about Willa and Aidan and staying out of hands of the police, and Willa's search for her mom, who mysteriously goes away and leaves a note for Willa not to search for her. In the end I got more into the story and wanted to know how it ended, then the story get's its fast pace back and thats where it interested me the most as a reader. Not so gripping and hilarious as book one, but certainly worth reading!
