I read this last year and now I read it again with a buddy.  It was just as good as the first time, and while the annoying parts of the book didn't get more or less annoying, the banter got even better! :)  I loved being back with this whole friend group and getting to be with them again was so warm and comforting.  And it also reminded me that I need to read the next book in this series.  I'll get right on that!
