It's been a hot minute since I finished a book. An entire month of July without reading *sigh*. Adulting is not fun.
However, I can always count on Klune to get me out of a rut with his books. There is just something about his narration, his characters, and the worlds that he creates that draws me in. And out of all his characters, Jazz, Gibby, Simon, and Nick are by far my favorite. Every time I went into this trilogy I was filled with anticipation of reading about this group of friends, a group that I felt myself become a part of with each book.
So coming to the end of this wonderful trilogy was bittersweet for me.
Usually, I write a long-ass review but today just is not that day (I stayed up late finishing this). However, I do want to say...don't be me. I didn't realize there was a WHOLE chapter after the acknowledgments in Flash Fire, and let me tell you, I was hella confused at the beginning of Heat Wave until I finally decided I must be missing something and went back to the last book. I felt so silly!
