It's been a while since I read the first book in the series so I'd forgotten that Jill had killed Lundy. I guess I won't be reading more about her after all. That's too bad.
I was surprised we got another story about Jack and Jill. I was also surprised that nearly everyone seemed to think it would be no big deal to switch bodies with an identical twin because they look so similar. I would think there would always be some body dysphoria with a body swap, but I could see how it would be even worse with an identical twin, even for someone without OCD. Even with identical twins there would be some minor differences, enough to produce an uncanny valley feeling every time you looked in the mirror.
This novella lacked the lyrical omniscient third person perspective that was present in the other Jack and Jill stories.
I'm glad Jack got her happy ending.

Jack and Kade's interactions are top notch. Technically every moment either of them are on page is amazing and Christoper's cool too.
