Family matters get even more complicated for the Forgers as Yor's brother - who may be faking some secrets of his own - comes to dinners, bringing the drinks and the drama. Back at Eden Academy, Anya gets another chance at building a better reputation for herself through sports and extracurriculars, which she (and her doting fake father) are finding much harder than anticipated. And as Yor begins to have his doubts about his darling (fake) wife, will the tangle of secrets holding this group together finally strangle any of their respective chances at happiness?

There was a lot going on in this volume, and hilarity certainly ensued as the Forger Family continues to barely escape notice and censure by the skin of their collective teeth! I know Yor's brother is going to continue to be a ~problem~ and am completely here for the drama, and also can't wait for him to meet Anya. I also likes some of the smaller "missions" during this volume, from school antics, to the joys of parenthood, to some light espionage, to a big (literally) cliffhanger that I know will add another layer of buffoonery to this fantastical little spy novel. Love it!
