Congrats to Shelby Van Pelt on such an amazing debut! 🩷 I read this for book club and honestly was surprised by how much I enjoyed it.
Marcellus was the ultimate star of this book, and I do wish he had gotten more time to shine, but I loved his journey. Michael Urie was the PERFECT narrator for this role. 😆 Tova was absolutely wonderful and quirky. Cameron was the annoying character who you couldn’t help but root for and hope for the character development. The book was a bit slow to start, but the backstory was necessary to understand how everything tied together.
