This is my "Adventures of Superhero Girl" of 2015, but mixed with a healthy helping of the absurd, sometimes existentially poignant humor of "The Perry Bible Fellowship."

This is one of those books I purposely read slowly so that it would last longer. I'm jealous of anyone who gets to read it for the first time.

2.5 rounded up to 3. There was a lot of potential but the execution was lacking and the characters felt shallow and way underdeveloped.

I really loved the whole idea of this book but the plot was lacking for me. There really wasn't much of a purpose or moral to the story which I think is what bothered me the most. It felt like it was all building up to something and then nothing happened.
