I laughed way to much reading this book

5 stars

This is a book that I just wanted to continue reading to figure out what's going to happen next. The story is well paced and it even includes some down time moments between the actions which is greatly appreciated. The writing is on point and there are quite a few moments where what a character does and says just makes me smile and laugh.
