This book is tricky for me to rate/review because it's a genre I read less often. From my familiarity (or lack thereof) with the genre, I thought this was pretty good. The plot checks out (i.e. makes sense), the characters are fun to follow, and I still get a good laugh from the O.G. crew and their various allies. I was a bit annoyed by the number of side plots working in parallel, and felt unnecessarily challenged trying to follow and remember each new character thrown into this installment of Osman's series.

I'm feeling mixed feelings about reading the next book, if for no other reason than that I'm not ready to accept where Stephen's storyline is going... Bogdan's getting choked up over it?! Don't do this to me!!
