dark emotional funny medium-paced

Thank you to NetGalley for this arc.

It was fun being reunited with Shitkid and the Melvins again and seeing how LA treated them (and how they treated LA). Moa’s depiction of the past blending into the present felt were handled so beautifully. I really enjoyed the message at the end too because it means I also have a buff soul.
One criticism is the white lettering used which kept changing back and forth, it made it very hard to read digitally so hopefully the final version doesn’t use this to make it more accessible.
