Well, you all said this was angsty, and you didn't lie to me because that gut punch was fucking brutal.

This could have been 150 pages shorter, but as an 80s baby, the 80s nostalgia hit a special place in my heart. The romance, the friendships...*chef's kiss*

Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...
