This is the second book in the series, which really should be read in order. The four roommates will each have their own narrative, as the story progresses. Although this book gives enough information that it will be an exciting read on its own, it is much more suspenseful if you have read Tomorrow Girls: Behind the Gates. Book 1 was Louisa's story, and this second one is Rosie's. The girls' personalities continue to build throughout this volume, and we find out why Rosie is so alert for danger, and so plucky and resourceful when it comes. Warning -- this review for the second book reveals spoilers from the first book.The second book picks up where the first left off -- with the four girls running thru the woods, escaping from their all-girls boarding school. In the woods, the four girls happen upon three boys from the all-boys boarding school, and when a sudden rain drenches them, they take shelter together. Sharing stories, they decide to escape together, even though a group of 7 teens is harder to conceal than 4. From there on it is a dash for their lives to escape The Alliance.An exciting book for middle-graders who are not quite ready for the Hunger Games level of writing. I enjoyed the second installment in the Tomorrow Girls series and am eagerly looking forward to the third, although I did find the plot about Rosie being an illegal alien who's family purchased new id bracelets on the black market unbelievable, simply because of two things- her accent would give her away and also a school that had so carefully researched the taking of America's elite wouldn't have accepted her as there'd be limited background on her family. Still a great story though.
