I got this book from Netgalley so I can and review it before it’s published. Now, let me also preface that I really enjoy his style of writing and have read all of his prior books.
As I was reading this new one, it reminded a bit of two books: Niko Draws a Feeling (a children’s book about a boy named Niko who draws, but nobody can see how wonderful they are except a neighbor around his age named Iris, and they become friends) and The Princess Bride because it’s a story being told about a story!
I won’t spoil anything from the book, but I will say, the way he introduces his characters are perfect and as I was reading the book, I could easily see them. I loved the plot, the characters, and the overall friendship of everyone and how they overlapped. Also, some funny things happened. At a few moments throughout the book, I was surprised by what happened and who appeared.
My favorite characters were Louisa and Ted. I hope he can continue this book with more adventures.
