'Ok' is a perfect word to describe the second installment in the Southern Reach Trilogy. I was expecting something a lot like Annihilation. But, this novel was office-based and kind of boring. The last part of the book was the most exciting, after slogging through the first parts. This novel is about the Southern Reach itself, and it's impending collapse. Is the border advancing? What is Area X? Welp, this book still wasn't sure about these questions. The only reason I'm going to complete the series is that I want to know what Area X is.
At least in this installment, they finally use the term 'alien', it only took a book and a half.

I love Sloan - I think Oriana is a bit annoying - woe is me until further toward the end where she gets more into herself - guess that's growth as a character which I like anyway.

I love Vanek too - he's my bae - I can't believe I haven't read his book yet and that makes me sad, just a taste of it at the end, wahhh!!!

Max and Dominick are just background noise to me in this book - neither stood out and neither were special to me in any way.

I love hockey books and the story and the end were pretty sweet too. Random thoughts - I adore this series though perhaps I'll go to Vaneks book next!

Lianne Moriaty is one of these rare but incredible authors that can suck you right into her books, to the point where you just don’t want to put it down, and this book is no exception.

It has friendship, hardship, love, sadness, and is beautifully written. It had me guessing about certain things, other parts I had an idea but wasn’t sure.

If you want to read this book (which I highly recommend) set aside a good chunk of time as once you start it you won’t want to put it down. I would say though I watched the TV series, and I didn’t think it was anything close to how amazing the book was.

You will not want to miss this book

If this is just book one i cannot wait to carry on reading the rest of the series... it had everything in it, a new discovery, a dark handsome yet unobtainable Ice Prince within a love triangle including Meghan's (main character) best friend, life threatening situations and even heart break!!! This book is one you will not want to put down until you've finished it and even after that your hands will be itching to pick up the next one. Seriously do not miss out; if you love a good fantasy romance then this is most definitely not one to ignore!!

Out of the whole 'Feeling Low' series, this one has effected me the most as I can relate to it the most. To see how I feel printed on pages in front of me confirms that I'm not the only one who has felt that they can not go on in life. This pocket pick me up book shares life changing information to help you to choose another way other than suicide. There are very valuable websites and numbers available in this book which are there for you to contact if you want or need help. So, if you feel like you just can't go on, no matter what the reason or the cause, please pick up this book.
