this and flamer by mike curato have such different energies but somehow they are my two favorite books of 2024 so far

I really enjoyed Ukazu's Check, Please books, but I think I loved this one even more. Bunt was such a fun book. I loved the premise and all of the characters. Virginia's family being Amish really tickled me for some reason. I loved the variety of characters and how unique they all were. I love a story of underdogs coming together and this book was done perfectly. I am a Ngozi Ukazu stan now and forever, so I can't wait to see what she writes next.
