This was so good I want to cry. There are a lot of reasons this book gets 5 stars, but the main one is fairly small. If you knew me in the 90s, you know that I was completely obsessed with The X-Files and I shipped Mulder and Scully hard. I ate, slept, and breathed X-Files. I still have most episodes through about season 7 memorized.
The POV character in this book, Misha Byrne, writes a television show called Travelers that is very X-Files based on Misha's childhood love of a different X-Files-esque show. One of Misha's FBI agents is a woman named Carey.
I've never encountered a fictional woman with my name spelling. And here she is. And she's an X-Files agent. I don't know why this means so much to me, but it does. And I will love this book until the end of time because of it.
