Jesse Q. Sutano is back - I'm glad that this book was much more in line with Dial A for Aunties in terms of fun and quality. It was completely off the wall and crazy, but in the best way possible. Sutano has a gift for creating characters and writing relationships, and this was a great example of her talent. I had so much fun with all of the characters, I didn't want the book to end. I loved Vera, and especially her relationship with Emma. The heart of this book and the love between characters reminded me a lot of Roselle Lim's books, which is something that I'm always happy to be reminded of.
