This is a sequel to Speak Easy Anne. The 1st book is really cool but this one improves the story and I like the writing more to. All the characters you love from the 1st book are still here and there's a few new faces but it mostly focuses on the original 4 - Anne, Dante, Chris, Betty. I definitely recommend this one!"
