This book gave me an existential crisis and I did not approve of it! How did Becky know the exact time I'd read this book and the state I'd be in my life that I'd need to read it? Someone question her about this please while I continue to laugh about Mosscap because they're honestly hilarious.

"The unknown makes us stupid sometimes."

Compared to the first book, I like this one a whole lot more. The friendship between Dex and Mosscap was so touching and I found myself wanting more pages once it was all done. MORE PLEASE BECKY! The joy that Mosscap had for life and the world mixed with Dex's knowledge of the world helped me to really see who I am and what I mean to the world - my place. If anymore is written in the world of Panga I will BE THERE.

I wanted Leroy and Dex to somehow be a couple by the end of the book but I know that's not fully how Dex operates (at least at this time)

actively scream laughed at Mosscap's greeting to Dex arriving at Leroy's and how Miss Amelia just had so much porn at her house
