tinyfrogwizard's review against another edition

5.0

The more I think about this book the more I find things to appreciate about it. I love the parallel stories and how they thematically reach such similar resolutions, yet written in a way that when one thread resolved I was still suprised by the ending of the other. The narrator and other characters are given the space to breathe and be messy in ways true to life, and at a few points I found myself trying to google The Get Happies to find some wiki to see how they ended up before I got to the next parts in the book. Genuinely looking forward to what Jeanne Thornton will write next.
