I wish there were most books in this series cause I really liked the backstory of BLT. He was one of my favorite characters on the show.

Only giving this a 4 because I think something about the slang and knowing what the writer looks like doesnt sit right with me.

I enjoyed this book alot though. I wish we got more but I'm glad with how it ended. as a fan of the TV show, I love how we get more of a back story of this character! it puts some things into perspective.

Is there's a BLT book 2? lol.
I wish we would have met Olive in the show!
