Is this book a bit ridiculous? Absolutely. Was it hilarious and entertaining? Also yes. Did it have the signature TJ Klune found family with a swoon-worthy relationship at its core? Yes yes yes. I'll admit, the writing wasn't always as polished as I wanted it to be (the book is a little long by the end and the plot kind of loses itself), but I didn't care because of how much I loved the characters. They are 100% what propel the story forward, and I loved them even more as I got further into the story.

If you've read any of TJ Klune's newer stuff, you can see how much his writing has grown since this book. And that makes me even more excited to read the other books in this series and see how my new favorite found family fares. Because they dserve the world and I can't wait to see what ridiculous advventures they get up to next.
