I always enjoy reading Osman's work, these characters are fun, likeable and deep. I enjoyed this story a lot but I must admit I found the ending a little confusing. I don't hate the concept, but I feel it could have been explained a little more as I was left asking questions. I would have rated this a 4 star book otherwise. Some parts of the book are sad and other parts are very funny, which makes for a varied and pacey story. I read this pretty quickly and can't wait to see their next adventure.
