"So you won't keep anything from me again?"
He put his hand to his chest. "Cross my heart and hope to die."
"Okay then. Though you don't actually have a heart," she said.
"I know."
"And technically, you've already died."
"I know that too."
"Just so we're clear."

2022 DNFed Re-Read
I gave this book about halfway before giving up. It is even worse as an adult because I kept thinking "SHE'S A FRESHMAN IN HIGHSCHOOL. WHY ARE YOU BRINGING HER INTO SO MUCH DANGER?! WHY ARE THE ADULTS SO IRRESPONSIBLE?!"

разведряващо и приятно четиво за всеки ден и навсякъде, харесва ми как е изграден светът, общо взето - напред и нагоре в поредицата! <3

Enjoyed this one, though!
