Not Odysseus humble-bragging about what a great commander he is when he literally lost all the men under him on the way home... 😭

But ma’am, how else will my dad give his life lessons if there isn’t a disastrous and depressing outcome?😱

Wait... Toms River water was RADIOACTIVE?! 😮

Good thing I grew up only drinking bottled water.

Fun fact: I can point to my childhood home on the opening map, only a few streets over from Cardinal Drive. This will be my new favorite party trick when people ask where I'm from.

lol this is book is so millennial it even has a scene where someone claps after she tells her dad off in Tim Hortons.

Preach Ruby! Throw that grinch out on his ass!

There’s grumpy and then there’s the literal embodiment of the Grinch. Run away, Ruby!

An unintentionally funny line:

Tourists were f*cking everywhere.

😳They were what? Seriously though that line made me do a double take!

The Reylo vibes are strong with this one.

Clark manifesting powers: This is fine.
His dad: Yeah you arrived in a spaceship.
Clark: *is shocked*
Clark is the embodiment of a golden retriever. Loveable with a great heart but not the brightest.

“[…]Like his dad said, more power would somehow lead to more responsibility.”

Uncle Ben called and he would like to sue Superman’s dad for copyright infringement.

"My heart was no longer pounding but literally racing around my chest."

So, to be clear, your heart grew little legs and was running around inside your chest? *Literally* meaning *literally* is a hill I am willing to *figuratively* die on.

Good for your Franny, refusing to take on the “high responsibility” of fixing a man through marriage. Preach, sister!

Edmund bro stop mansplaining and telling Franny how she feels.

The fact that the main character drives a 1992 Chevrolet Caprice makes me happy. And I can attest those things were big monsters because that's what I learned to drive in (okay, it was a 1991 but close enough) with the seat all the way up against the steering wheel. The fact they don't get snow and salt the roads in Georgia explains why it's still in driving condition.

Wow if the FMC is this bratty at 26 I hate to think what she was like at 16.

I was enjoying this but suddenly it has a lot of telling and time skips and I don’t like not seeing how this affects Aria.
