Also, the next book is even more awesome. I have two copies of that as well, and would give you one, except that the one copy has fifty pages missing and the same fifty pages repeated in its stead and when I got to that point on the first reading I had to e-mail Sarah Rees Brennan and beg shamelessly for a PDF of those missing pages because if I had to stop and wait for a complete copy I WOULD DIE.
And it is probably some deeply disturbing insight into my character that I love Nick. Not in the "ooh I dig bad boys" way, in the "I feel for you, poor lamb, I really do" kind of way. Though I don't think I would be able to feel that way if Alan and Mae (and even in his own way, Jamie) weren't so capable of dealing with Nick's extremes as they are.
Anyway, Mae is fabulous in Book Two, and she has the super power of being a great narrator, which is good enough for me.
