I absolutely adored this book. I think what really drew me in was the overall format and the voice that it was written in, and I was not disappointed. I had a kindle version, so every time there was a reference to read I was able to follow the link and go read it like a text book. It made it all great fun and feel kind of interactive. I kind of felt like I should be taking notes the whole time!
The characters were a riot as well, I love Bambleby and Emily, their relationship was always giving me a laugh and I found them both so endearing. Emily being the most unreliable narrator ever, never took away from the story in that regard as so often these highly character driven narrations go, but it was very obvious to gleam from her words what was really going on and enjoy her interpretations.
I think everyone should pick this one up as a fun short read, and I can't wait for the next one. The book in itself is like picking up an experience rather than just another novel and I am so excited to have picked it up!
