Manic Pixie Dream Earl by Jenny Holiday
4.0

Thank you to NetGalley for the ALC of this novel.

I really enjoyed this! This veered more into heavier topics than book one did, but I think it was balanced nicely with outside character support. Book one felt to balance with humor, and I didn't quite get that here, but I think I prefer it that way. It felt more genuine that the topics weren't laughed off, so to speak, but were met with support.

I enjoyed Effie's character a lot in book one and am so glad we were able to see more in to what was plaguing him book one. Jules really does feel like a perfect fit for him as her personality compliments his in so many ways. I also appreciated that Jules is an older FMC.

Queer representation here as well, folks! We always love to see that!

I am hoping for some more books in this series. I find their premise lovely and the friendships within are charming. Harry Frost has done an excellent job narrating both of these novels so far. I would love to see him return in any future novels!
