Jackpot by Nic Stone
4.0
This is my second Nic Stone book and both of them have been completely IMPOSSIBLE to put down. I started both with the intention of reading a few chapters and next thing I knew I was reading the last page. Her joyful personality comes through so clearly in her writing and it is supremely contagious.
This book was just so fun to read! The premise hooked me immediately and her characters are so real and charming and hilarious. Rico was a delightful narrator and her inner monologues were great. I especially enjoyed some of her nicknames for Zan in the beginning (my favorites were “toilet tissue Titan” and “pee pee paper prince”). Zan is a complete dork, Jax is the cutest, Jess is awesome and Ness is fabulous. I loved the random chapters that were narrated by inanimate objects— so creative and fun!
The plot kept me entertained throughout and though I guessed the big twist early, I was still shocked by how it played out! Stone’s writing is just so easy to read and I enjoy it so much. The ending seemed a bit abrupt to me but overall I liked this very much!!
