This is the only book that has ever made me laugh out loud...other than Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I was invested so quickly! The book club scene was hilarious, and the banter between January and Gus was great, too. I also loved the subplots, and wished we could dive into those even further. I really appreciated the exploration of learning from/about the people you love. It could be predictable/cheesy at times, but the author sort of embraced it. Overall, it was a great read, and now I know what labradorite is!
