I had such a great time with this book. It made me laugh out loud several times, and I really felt for all the principal characters. Ekaterin continues to delight as a narrator, and the scene where she unleashes Nikki on his father's cousin will stay in my memory for a long time. So will the butter bug dinner party. The bugs turned it all the way around from farce to genuine feeling, and back again. I want some bug butter ice cream, please.
2024 reread: even on a second read, this book made me stay up till 3 am because I was having such a fun time.

This series starts with space pirate adventures. In this book, it turns into a comedy of manners romance. I love both of these modes, and the transition was done exceptionally well.

Difficult one, this, because the first third of the book I feel almost comically unable to enjoy because it's building up to Miles's deserved humiliation and my second-hand embarrassment, but once that's done and dusted, the rest of the book is an entertaining comedy of manners and delicious high level intrigue, as per the rest of the series, but with significant added romance.

El título lo dice todo: "Una comedia de biología y buenos modales". Algunos de los episodios más divertidos de la historia de Miles incluyendo una clásica batalla de tartas.
