What in the crazy fever dream did I just read?????
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m not sure if I just don’t remember the other books being this strange or if this one was way wackier than the others but holy crap did it feel like I was on drugs. The mascot competition was a riot in the last book, but the chaos the mascot card game created in this book was something to behold. This town is so delightfully weird and the humor had me laughing out loud. Every character is straight out of a cartoon. I couldn’t imagine knowing any of these people in real life. They’re both hilarious and horrifying. I think they’d drive me insane. But my feelings are conflicted hahaha
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The tension between Max and Tillie Jean was intense. From the very first chapter they’re both thinking about how off limits the other is. As annoying at their broken record inner monologue was, these two were destined to drive each other insane which kept things interesting. Tillie Jean’s brother Cooper on the other hand, is a giant pain in the ass. Thank goodness for Cooper and TJ’s other more down to earth brother, Grady. He was the voice of reason throughout the book.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This book is filled with pranks, goats, the slowest of burns, plenty of ridiculousness, and a LOT of laughter. Plus the occasional tear jerker moment. My only hang up is that Max should really seek out a new therapist/psychiatrist. Because his current one was doing nothing for him & He’s got serious issues, that only partially got addressed.
