This is the... 6th time I have read this book. And it's just that Muir's use of language and characterization throughout are really unbeatable. Yes there are memes but the dialogue is still punchy and doesn't feel forced. Yes there are memes but the descriptions and flow don't rely on them; the narration is still beautiful and thoughtful outside of this. Jod I love this book. Also, I discovered Moira Quirk as a narrator thanks to this series, and it's as if she was born to read it, or else it was made for her to read. Her use of emphasis and voice is unparalleled.
