07/28/24 re-read. Look, it's good, okay? I love the MCs and I laughed out loud so often. So much of this held up, impressive in a book that's 8yrs old. But some things didn't work for me this time around. There is a plot point here that hinges on the outdated belief that sex work = shame. That kind of thinking is very much of it's time, but in 2024 it's a narrative I cringe at when I see it. So, I get what the author was trying to do, but reading this today, I wish Gale had found some other way to get there.

I think I'll let my rating stand though bc at its core it's still a great story with extremely likeable MCs.
