Brilliant. Fun. Snappy and thrilling. This was just a really good read. Because we love our strong Women, our Bi-Disasters, our likeablly-defeated detectives and the stories they come with. I feel like this story was fiction and hard-thruths, uncomfortable still-truths, in just the right parts. Here's a story about a Woman with a wit quick as a whip but a chronic illness. Here's a story about a younger woman finding her footing time and again in a world that can be all to hostile and hateful: because of love. Here's a story about women, multi-faceted human beings, uplifting and protecting each other, where others only seek to harm; they also seek truth and justice. True betterment. It still shows their struggles. But it also shows how above all else, we continue to persist.
