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.

I mean, I get the references but I can’t help but suspect the kids these days don’t know Battlestar Galactica (2004), Mean Girls (2003), and that their moms are not old enough to subject their daughters to 80s music in the car.

Every time Master Sho's shield is mentioned, I want to break into song: "When Captain America throws his mighty shiiiiiieeeeelldddd!"

1848 girl: I'm going to wear pants and I'm equal to men.
1848 boy: You're right, I'm sorry.

That's it? I'm all for historical novels where people question social norms and push boundaries but I believe in sal negra and the fact no one knows she's Salvación more than how easily these two embraced modern feminism.

"How do you two know each other?" asks the not-so-bright Alejandro.

Uh, because Victor's sister is literally the only girl in town the same age as Salvación? 🙄

Seriously this is like how no one notices Clark Kent is just Superman in glasses. It's not that hard to figure out, people!

Preach, Mara!
