Thank you to Netgalley and North Star Editions for a review copy of this novel.
As a geeky, cosplaying woman, I loved this book. I loved having a world I know and love being shown in a book and the little moments that the characters has that are so totally things geek kids and even adults do, and made my geek heart happy.
And while I am not someone well versed in the foster care system, I really thought that aspect of this story was great, especially seeing it from the kid's perspective. It wasn't sugar coated at all and you could tell that Jessica (yes that was something else I loved) had some trauma and things she was still trying to reconcile.
All in all, I think this book was done well and wasn't super predictable either, I highly recommend it.
