Hooooboy this is...quite problematic. In a number of ways. I am going to give this one a miss, pleaseandthankyou.

Wait, it took him 144 pages to mention his sister??

Borrowed this from the library - on page 5 and already I know I will need to buy my own copy.

I rescind my previous statement. Swapping around the various characters' backgrounds would have been even more problematic, and I certainly would not have wanted to give up any of these brilliant messes of boys.

Did you really need to make the womaniser with the drug problem the 'asian one'? I mean, you had two straight laced white boys right there to choose from. I would have flipped that in the edit.
I'm pretty early on I suppose. One of those white boys might still do something so awful I'll be glad it wasn't flipped. We shall see.

REFORMED GIRL DETECTIVE! ...alright, I was enjoying the start of this book, but now I love it already. <3

A bit of a wobbly start, but really starting to enjoy it now!

Okay, Vegemite is not a condiment, it is a spread! You don't give it to someone to add to their sandwich, lord almighty! I am so horrified right now.

The marketing tag for this book was truly a massive spoiler. I have yet to be surprised by anything :(

Don't let anyone tell you
that you are half anything.
Don't let anyone tell you
That you are half black
And half white. Half-Cypriot
And half Jamaican.
You are a full human being.

Oof. Gutted on page 35. My heart might not make it through this one!

My heart just made the same noise as Wesley when The Machine was turned up to 50 in the The Princess Bride. WHAT IS THIS BOOK DOING TO ME RIGHT NOW

No wonder this world is such a mess. Every person with super powers is an absolute idiot.

Literally everything about Brighton is the worst. Every time he opens his mouth I feel like I lose brain cells. What. A. Twat.

I hope they mean dog-eared in the figurative sense and didn't LITERALLY DOG-EAR A GENERATIONS OLD MANUSCRIPT 😱

I was really looking forward to reading this one, and I am so bummed that I am struggling instead! Why is this dialogue so painful??

Omg two prickly detectives sizing each other up, forced to work together on a case that is personal to both of them and to somehow get along despite the INCREDIBLE SEXUAL TENSION! I am so here for this!

Nooooo not fourth wall foreshadowing! Blergh, I was having such a good time ><

There are already so many fairytale retellings out there that I was reluctant to read yet another one - but I am growing increasingly glad that someone forced this one into my hands.
This is really quite a very good book.

"He could do happy, just not first thing in the morning."

I like this guy already!

I'm sure I would have finished this book by now if my mind wasn't being continuously BLOWN AWAY by these INSANE PLOT TWISTS that make me put it down and re-evaluate everything I thought I understood. O.O

These backstory curve balls are killing me! I need a flowchart or something, holy crap.
