This was a fun little romp! I'd only heard good things about it, and I'm glad to see that it held up to the hype. I do think that some of the 90s film references got to be a bit much; after a while it felt like there were so many being shoved in there like a quota was trying to be reached, and it took me out of the story more than it immersed me. I also feel like there were one or two plot points that don't make a ton of sense but it's forgivable, particularly given that this is a YA novel. All in all, I did enjoy this a lot and I'm glad I picked up a copy!
