Sal and Gabi Fix the Universe by Carlos Hernandez
5.0
Love this series! I'm so bummed there's not another for me to read (yet?). Both books close their stories well enough that the series could end there, but leave just enough for a sequel. It's beautifully done. In terms of storytelling, this book has the edge over the first with a more focused plot and a stronger showing of craftsmanship. By the same token, though, it does make it feel a little more calculated. The biggest knock on it is that it wants so desperately to be the most charming thing ever that it can, at times, grate just slightly, but with a book that is this much shameless fun to read, it's hardly worth mentioning.
