The previous book is still my favorite so far, but this one was excellent. The first third or so especially; I couldn't stop laughing at Cuddles the giant donkey. 😂 Can't wait to see what the hell is in store in the next one!

Did not finish book. Stopped at 33%.
Too much going on, too many characters, dual timelines...I lost patience.

That ending packed a punch and I'm too tired to write a decent review, but it would probably just be hysterical gushing anyway so whatever. 😭😭

Holy shit, this was a hell of a ride! Great characters, a wicked sense of humor, and simmering with righteous feminine rage.

Dinged it slightly for some awkward time jumps that slightly confused my dumb ass. 😅 But definitely one of my faves I've read so far this year!
