This was my favorite of all the short stories, which is ironic because it was the one I was least curious about. I really wasn’t invested in Marty and Luce’s story—perhaps because I didn’t really like Hat Trick all that much—but there were a lot of aspects about this little novella that I enjoyed.

I really liked the meet-cute, they were kind of adorable. Marty was very feisty and headstrong, and Luce went from disliking that about him to finding it really endearing. This was very much insta-love/lust. I mean, this moved super super fast even for a novella, but it worked for me.

Seeing Jet again wasn’t exactly my favorite (again, because Hat Trick was just blah), but it was cool to see how Luce came about becoming their manager and seeing the little crumbs of Jet and Harley first getting together.

There was some conflict but it didn’t feel OTT or unnecessary like the other stories in this collection. I’m lowkey glad this is over though.

Alexander Cendese’s “twinky character” voice continues to drive me up a wall. I appreciate every second I get with Iggy Toma before it switches back.
