There may be spoilers, I never know until I am done writing!I love these books, and I think the main reason is this girl has been abused for most of her life, and now she is being fawned over by all these hot boys!  So far in these books Sang is scared, and nervous, she doesn't know a thing about life, she doesn't even know what constitutes flirting, and being friendly.  She also doesn't know what is a normal interaction between a child and parent, and between a boy a girl who want to be friends, or more.  When we started Sang knew very few things about herself, she knew that she was smart enough to be in AP classes, liked to read, and enjoyed music that wasn't mainstream.  She also knew that she didn't believe everything that her mom told her about the world.  Well now her mom isn't there to police her so she gets to try and find out what she is about, and what all these new friends are about too.That being said this book is heavily North, not that it is a bad thing to have him in the book more, he has always been more background, but North spends most of this books acting like a jerk.  We find out towards the end that North doesn't sleep anymore so that is part of the problem, and the reason why he doesn't sleep any more is because of Sang.  It is a sweet reason, but still, acting like a crazy person, go to sleep!  While North is in the book a lot, we don't really learn much about him background wise, we learn that when he cares he yells, so good to know!This book actually lets us learn a little about Nathan, and Kota's background, which was nice to finally learn something about them! Luke, Kota, Nathan, North all 4 talk about their feelings, so that is good.  The other big thing we get in the book is background about Blackbourn and some more time with him, which was nice.But the main thing in the book is the bullying that is done to Sang by the vice principal and principal at the school.  They have mentioned that the vice principal maybe up to no good where the girls at the school are involved already so it wasn't a real shock when he was after Sang, but the principal wants to know everything about The Academy.  This girl cannot get a break, and I cannot wait for the next book!!
