It was so much fun revisiting this story and I cannot wait to get the next one. I am so glad I decided to do a reread because I enjoyed it so much more than the first time. When Rae, Amanda, and Alana were trying to determine our next buddy read – it was the perfect choice. So I read Roar a while back but Rage is coming out soon and I knew that I wanted to do a reread soon.
