The first gift: "Why are you so happy?" her father demanded. "This has to be the least romantic gift of all time. It's a half-dead cactus covered with barbs and a random bullet." "No, Daddy," she said, her heart awash with love. "It's a cartridge in a prickly pear tree."...more

"What would you say if you were the kind of person who needed two names?" "I have four names." "And you wonder why I make fun of you."
December 2023 Review: I don’t even have words for how great this book was. I went into it not expecting much but it blew me away. It was jam-packed with unrealistic but exciting events. The characters had depth and it was a joy getting to know them. The plot was so different from anything I have read before with the apocalypse event. I can’t believe the author ended on that cliffhanger. ...more

January 2024 Review: I adored the first 3/4, but the last little bit...ehh. This book started right off with a bang including lots of action and comedy, which is exactly what I came for. It was all completely over-the-top and ridiculous, but that is why I loved it. We got to see a lot more of Theo's family and some more crazy adventures. When I say that I loved it, I mean that I sat down and read and read until a couple of hours had passed and I was 60% done with the book. I just couldn't put it down. That being said, I was just not pleased with the last little bit of the book. The setting changed back to a more 'normal' environment where Theo and Wren were not together as much. The humor also disappeared here too. It just fell flat, and I will admit that I was not pleased with the decisions that the characters made as well as particular plot points. Just as with the first book, I would recommend this to older high schoolers/college-age and up. Overall, I am glad that I read the book and will be eagerly anticipating my preorder in the mail. However, I think that readers could also do just fine only reading the first if there is no burning desire to read Heir, Apparently.

I suppose the art was good enough but Kaoru Mori spoiled all other graphic novels/manga for me forevermore. So I am comparing everything to an extremely high standard and *shocker*, nothing lives up to it. ...more
