Full review to come later.
This book was great fun. The different POVs were handled really well, I loved the representation, and there was a good balance between dark topics and light-hearted banter. This felt like peak wlw/mlm solidarity. I wish I had this sort of book in high school.
I'm looking forward to the sequel, that I hope won't have any Harry Potter references.
As a random note, I think this is the first Urban fantasy I've read that takes place primarily in Canada.
