Please Don't Tell My Parents I'm a Supervillain

My best friend recommended this book to me, and all was thinking through the first 100 pages is, this is so her. This is so her. Not really ME, but so her. And then the plot started, and it was ME. So about the first 100 pages of this are world-building, but not in a bad way. Like, I mean the entire book could have been world-building like that and I thin it would’ve stood on it own. I mean, it was hilarious and awesome and you really got to know the characters REALLY well. ((It actually brings to mind Origin by Jessica Khoury, which I also described as world-building for the first 100 pages. Out of the two, this one is DEFINITELY better, and that is one of my favorite books.)) Now, about the characters… I don’t know how you can’t just love them all! Even the villains, are so captivating and funny and awesome. Lucyfar, Bull, Cybermancer… all of them. In fact, some of the more unlikable characters were among the heroes. Mech, for instance. That might be because we did not interact with the heroes as much as we did with the villains, but whatever! It was awesome! I was just a little confused (all right, a lot confused) on who Claudia is. I mean, she must have been mentioned during the first 100 pages, but I guess I forgot about her and then she showed up a later and I’m still wondering who she is. Was she one of Marcia friends? I think so, I can’t be sure. This is the best, I love the Inscrutable Machine, and I can’t wait for book 2.
