This is by far my favorite installment in the Bergman series - full of swoony banter, sports galore, and a heroine who isn't afraid to go after what she wants. We've seen Ziggy in so many of the previous books, but it's worth nothing that it's always from her siblings' perspectives. And man, have they been sleeping on Ziggy. She's full of such power and fire, but keeps getting hung up on what other people think of her. Then there's Seb, the resident bad boy and brother's best friend. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to do some angry yoga with him but he certainly doesn't start as boyfriend material. Let alone even *friend* material.

I felt like this book showed the most character growth out of the 6 published thus far, and that includes even some of the siblings from previous books! It really helped me feel more invested in the characters and just the entire saga that is the Bergmans. This was also my first time reading the ebook rather than listening to the audio, and I didn't feel like it detracted from the experience. Rather it made sense that for the bookish gal Ziggy, I do it the old (but really new) fashioned way. This book is full of easter eggs to previous books, as well as some of Chloe's other novels! This may be the one series where reading them in order is *imperative* IMO (and that's coming from a serial chaos demon)

That being said, I would let Ziggy tickle me until I pee a little for any insider knowledge on Viggo's book because I need that joyful chaos in the world NOW.
