My Review:
I am really enjoying the Bookstrings series and was super excited for this book. While Cross Words could be read as a standalone novel, I highly recommend reading the other books first, since this book mentions characters/situations from previous books.
I liked the book, but I didn't love it. I got lost several times at the beginning, but I stuck with it because I do love this series, and I am glad I did. So, if you start reading, get lost, keep going, it is worth it in the end.
One of the reasons I got lost is that a lot is going on in this book. There are a lot of characters introduced in the first few chapters (and that ALWAYS confuses me), and there are several locations, as Milton travels around.
I loved all the bookish references and even found books that I want to read (or loved the nod to books I had read!). Judah is one of the main characters, and he is super annoying most of the book, but his character growth almost makes you forget how annoying he was.
I suspect from the ending that there will be more books in the Bookstrings series (and I hope so!!), I am here for them. I want to see more of Milton, and I wonder if he ever settles down in one place.
★★★⋆/5
