The Thousand-Dollar Tan Line by Jennifer Graham, Rob Thomas
5.0
Just do yourself a favour and read it.
To be an avid marshmallow and receive not only a movie, but ALSO a book series that continues Veronica's story is, quite frankly incredible. There are a ton of fandoms that could never even hope to receive this type continuation of one of their beloved shows, and I will be forever thankful that there were enough rich marshmallows out there to give us what we wanted!
Now, onto the question most of you are wondering. Is the book actually any good?
YES. I won't lie, if you have never watched Veronica Mars then you're unlikely to know what is going on, as the book (like the movie) uses a lot of cameos and little inside jokes that fans of the show will really appreciate, where as non-fans will find themselves scratching their heads a bit.
The central mystery is quite well plotted and takes a slightly more adult tone to go along with Veronica's increased age. There are still some of the wacky disguises and aliases, but the crime is a little darker and more focused on possible murders than the high school hi-jinx of the show. That's not to say it is a completely serious book mind you. Veronica is still the sassiest of sass queens, and has an almost never ending selection of quips and comebacks that helped us fall in love with her during the show's run, and the supporting cast is as strong as always (if a little under-used in this entry).
Overall, I don't see any fan not enjoying this book. The mysteries, the humour, the characters, they all found themselves transferred to book form flawlessly. I may even listen to the audiobook for this, I mean Kristen Bell is no doubt narrating it, right? RIGHT?
I'm honestly so happy and cannot wait for book number two!
