Michael is my favourite Tales of the City character and I loved having a novel soley focusing on him. It truly felt like catching up with an old friend! The first person perspective was fun and different to the previous novels in the series. It still had the same tone, humour and vibes but can also stand on its own away from the series. Of course I loved all the cameos of familiar faces: it was really nice to see how they had grown and changed. Jake was a great new character! I really enjoyed the more in depth exploration of Michaels life - there was a lot of talk about life and death. It was heartbreaking yet funny with the perfect mixture of both. I didn’t expect it would make me cry but it did… I really flew through this book in just a few hours thanks to the amazing writing and pacing. I can’t wait to pick up the next book!
