Well, he didn't disappoint.
It was funny, and eccentric, and relatable, and not the least bit lacking in intrigue.
It was also more of a wild ride than his others have been. That last scene (if you can call the whole chase one scene) reminded me very strongly of Gordon Korman's work—it tasted like the Masterminds. So yes, it requires a bit of suspended disbelief, but it's 100% worth it.
Because it's not just an escape story. It never is with Gemeinhart.
It's about souls, finding each other and reaching out and connecting.
And it's about coming into your someday—because guess what? You're already here.
