I thoroughly enjoyed this cozy comfort read, particularly around the holidays when I want a book that's interesting enough to keep me turning the pages, but relaxed enough to allow me to unwind.

The plot is well conceived and develops organically. I was dying to know how the story was going to end and once I got there, everything made sense and left me satisfied despite the big "answer" not being what I thought it would be. That being said, it wasn't anxiety-inducing as some thrillers or mysteries can be.

The characters are very personable and I felt the authors excellently wove in aspects of modern culture. The writing style provides a sense that you could be hearing a wild tale from a friend you haven't seen in a while. There is quite a bit of British slang that I had to look up while reading but I take that as a bonus since I learned a few new things as well.

I did not know until I finished the book that the author is actually an author duo. This doesn't change my opinion of the story at all but I enjoy the blend of creative energy that it brings to the table (or, the shelf?)

Can't think of anything negative to say about the book, it was an easy and solid 5 stars for me. If there is a sequel, I will definitely be reading.
