What did I think?
This was one of the best standalone novels that I have read in a while! The protagonist, Dellaria, was funny but not blind to her own faults. She doesn’t quite know how to get out of bars (gin being a particular favorite) and is utterly hilarious when falling in love. I thought the characters that C.M. Waggoner created were delightful and this was a thoroughly enjoyable read!
