- Loveable characters? Yes
4.5
Grady Hendrix has a habit of writing the most engaging, unique stories with the most insufferable characters. At least in this case, those insufferable characters weren't the main characters for once! Just everybody else around them.
I had a lot of fun with this book though. I think the relationship between Abby and Gretchen is really the backbone of this story and if you don't care about them as a bond, it doesn't really work out. But it works for me and I loved it and while I was infuriated at parts (mostly because of the adult characters - seriously, why do Grady Hendrix's adults suck?), it was a fun read
