I don’t really pick up a Weir book to get invested in the characters, I mostly pick them up to learn more about science in an interesting way, and I did have a really good time learning about gasses and vacuums! I did really like Jazz’s character, especially her relationship with her dad, though she really had “women written by a man” syndrome. The humor in the book was also not for me, though I didn’t hate it. The most interesting part was by far the problem solving for the heists and the emailing parts, as well as the father/daughter relationship. It’s an incredibly quick read for its length, so nothing bothered me too much.

Kept waiting for that condom to become plot relevant and save the day but alas. It’s just there for… humor?
