This Will Be Fun

2.5 stars. The story is super fun but the pacing and worldbuilding are ALL over the place.
I really enjoyed the central storyline and characters: the author did a good job of creating characters who struggled to recover from the events of ten years ago. The interpersonal relationships were incredibly important to the plot and drove the action.
But the pacing - it took FOREVER for the actual plot to kick in, and then we kept getting sidetracked by silly interludes. The fights leading to the big bad lacked tension - and since the story sped through these parts, there wasn’t a satisfying ending.
Overall it felt like they tried to cram in as many fantasy versions of real life things that they forgot to make the plot drive. Very disappointing, as the story and characters are super fun.
Thank you to NetGalley, E.B. Asher, and Avon Books for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
