Almost Flying by Jake Maia Arlow

4.0

Absolutely delightful. The opening and closing were both clunky, but the story in between was SO good that I can easily forgive both. That's the only reason this isn't five stars. The main character's aversion to conflict seemed to indicate extreme trauma which apparently didn't happen? An unwillingness to express ANY disagreement because "I didn't want to make you mad" is literally unhealthy. But, like I said, once I got past that section of the story and they were actually on the roller-coaster-road-trip it was FANTASTIC.

Note that this is also on my purchase list. Ooooof. I have to cull first, though. :(
