A delight! So funny and weird!

Hands down, one of my favorite books of the year. The characters in this fun, weird story live rent-free in my mind! I literally cannot wait to see Jody Comer to play Flavia in the upcoming show!

Greta's obsession with Flavia reminded me of another much loved book about female obsession called Vladimir by Julia May Jonas. I talk more about these two books on my booktube: https://youtu.be/nYVtlnaPqhg

3.5! this started out so strong and i loved so much of the writing but unfortunately it started falling flat towards the second half of the book :( i expected to loooveee this
