strictly literary: unraveled by kate jarvik birch

the conclusion to the perfected series, unraveled puts our beloved characters through the wringer, and not everyone makes it out alive. there are real stakes here. and ella and penn have to make difficult choices. and sometimes doing the right thing comes at a great cost.

i don't really follow this author on social media, so i don't know the full story about why there is such a big delay between books two and three. the second part published in 2015 and part of me wonders if the events of 2016 affected the story here. because this book doesn't shy away from addressing political issues. and so much of it is relevant to what is happening today.

if you've read perfected and tarnished, of course, you are going to pick up unraveled. if you haven't i recommend starting at the very beginning, the series makes the most sense that way.

**unraveled will publish on april 3, 2018. i received an advance reader copy courtesy of netgalley/entangled publishing (entangled teen) in exchange for my honest review.
