this book is unique and amazing. it has a good blend of embarrassment and lore (totally didn't yell at max through the book). honestly the plot twist near the end shocked me as i was not expecting that. i read this awhile back so my memory of it isn't 100% perfect but honestly i remember that it was so good i read the second book and waiting in agony for book 3. I'd have to say that even though the books has those embarrassing moments it does make you want you to read more to find out what happens next.
