 This is one of my favorite book covers. Perfection. This was the first non-audiobook I've managed to finish in forever, so that says a lot. I really liked the two MCs and the setting was very fun. I think this book achieves what its going for in terms of tone, but for me it wasn't a total match as a reader. It was hard to both care about the characters and their predicament while also feeling that aspects of the story were meant to be over the top bonkers. I'm just not sure the emotional elements all landed for me as the story neared its end simply because the plot was so silly. And even though I think its meant to be an homage and be silly, I missed the intricate and immaculate plotting I usually love in a KJ book. Again, I think this is more an issue with me as a reader not being a perfect match for what this book is going for. If you're looking for something fun with lovable MCs and what I found to be really great ADHD representation, this is a good bet. If you can appreciate the camp a bit more than I did I think you'll adore it.
