• Ada isn't as bad as everyone says. I enjoyed her more than Emmy, actually. (Yes, I will always dislike Emmy)

• Wes is sweet, but baby, he gave mayo. Very much generic MMC for 90% of the book

•  The spice didn't give me the ick this time! +10 points!

•  Everyone keeps talking about the whiskey scene when they SHOULD be talking about the superior mirror scene 🤭
