From what I've seen this is probably the most divisive volume of this series, so I'm genuinely surprised that I enjoyed it so much.

As the title suggests, this volume is about Scott getting it together... or trying to, at least. He's being forced to Adult due to several things happening in his life and decides to get a job while struggling to say the L-word to Ramona. There's also another evil ex who shows up and some guy with a samurai sword who wants to murder him.

I continue to have a really good time reading this series. There are some moments when I'm reminded of certain things that were seen as acceptable to say in the early 2000s (the r-word, for example) but considering that it was written in the early 2000s I'm more willing to let it slide than I am if it were written now.

Scott being forced to Adult for the first time in his life paired with a person from high school showing up again leads to some serious character development which I loved. There's also something very satisfying about seeing everyone around Scott be exasperated with him the entire time and generally not enjoy spending time with him because I'm really tired of trash protagonists still being generally beloved.

As usual, not much to say. I still really like this series and am excited to binge the rest of it.
