It was ok. I think my expectations for this were waaay too high. I love the both the found family and the road trip trope so i was really excited to pick this up but unfortunately it was just meh. The characters were ok, I liked them, but i didn’t love them or feel attached to them.
Also the swearing?? I mean, I’m not a total grandma, I don’t really mind it usually but it just felt so out of place in this book. Like you know when you start reading something and you immediately know its for a younger audience, because of the way the story and characters are written. But then these characters, who wouldn’t have seemed out of place in Percy Jackson, were swearing every other sentence. It just felt out of place.
