While this book isn't my favorite in the Simonverse, it doesn't mean I don't love it; this book is great. The characters are memorable, and the main family's dynamic is something you rarely see in books and I loved to see it. Though the plot is a little basic, with a lovesick character who's never been in a relationship, the way it's done in this book is a fun take on it.
