What She Does Next Will Astound You, by Patrick Ness, James Goss
4.0
4/5
This made up for the utter crap in The Stone House. Every character sounded exactly like themselves and the level of action was comparable to the show and equal to the character development. Hell, this book made me like April.
It was a crazy ride, that's for sure, but it was incredibly entertaining. There were some chapters that didn't need to be in there - like about the teachers that gave no value to the story at all. Overall, it was fast-paced, a thrill ride, and a little crazily put together.
Ram was a real stand out in this book. I adore his passive-aggressive leg and the relationship Ram has with it. I really wish we'd gotten to see that on the show, it was amazing! Oh and Ram texting Rachel is heartbreaking and beautiful and shows the grief that gets a little glossed over in the show sometimes. Also adored Varun and being Ram's cheerleader, always.
Charlie and Matteusz were great as always and I loved seeing into their relationship more. The idea of Matteusz explaining traffic to Charlie is the most adorable thing, and their fight felt very real and like a thing that needed to happen in their relationship. They are still, and always will be, maddeningly in love.
Quill, what a rockstar, always. I'm confused about her use of guns and her less that attentive way of protecting Charlie - Not sure how the aliens got past the Arn but suuure. She's still the biggest badass in the galaxy.
There was a Mr. Smith reference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This was great, the characters were great, the story was thrilling (if a little confusing) and makes me want to rewatch Class for the hundredth time.
