while reading LFUS i kept thinking of the word effervescent, which as it turns out is a damned good fit! i loved the characters - the shifting pov works a charm for their stories. it made them approachable and greatly emotive.
i also liked the plot - very unpredictable at times
(literally expected a Galactic Empire invasion. i was eyeing the stack of remaining pages in fear of the Abrupt End)
and ryka aoki has such a way with end-of-chapter cliffhangers.

+ a hunch that eeaao fans would love LFUS. not because both works revolve somewhat around baked goods of course, haha
