4.0

Thought it was a lot of fun! Canon Chambers is a likable main character, and it's genuinely really funny how much of his reaction is 'please don't make me get involved in this. I don't want to be doing this right now'. A larger portion of the book than I expected does revolve around Chambers' love life, which kind of made it drag, but a lot of fun overal!
