Yoooooooooo soooooo good! This is the kind of quality gay shit I need

Cute enough for a middle grade book. I certainly do need more books about girls playing sports. Just found it a bit.... predictable. Which yes I KNOW it's a kids book. But I'm reading this in the middle of a reading slump of underwhelming books and I was just hoping to be more in love with this than I was.

A teenage girl falls in love with a mummy. This funny, pun-filled book is a good length, has some pretty incredible dialog and manages to punch a lot of conventional tropes in the face. It's no Moby Dick but it's a great source of entertainment and amusement. As someone who reads a LOT of teen romance I found this to be extremely enjoyable. It's got a few first book problems (because hey first book! Even Jim Butcher's first Dresden Book ain't gold) but it somehow manages to be adorable and interesting in its brief 97 pages. I highly recommend particularly for people who are in on the joke of it. Paranormal romance is weird, even for those of us who truly enjoy it. I'd love to see Alex take on more books, though maybe not a sequel. I'd like to see him to High Fantasy with this kind of humor and fun. One thing is for sure I'd totally pick up his second book.
