Kill the Lax Bro by Charlotte Lillie Balogh
4.0
I had such a fun time with this one!
Firstly, that cover!! Love love love the details on it and it really leans into the late 90s setting, Lisa Frank and lipgloss references to a T.
As mentioned, this book takes place in 1999 - I'm not entirely sure if that was necessary outside of the nostalgia factor (though I think most readers who pick this up won't quite get it?) - and the chapter headings were all song titles, which was incredibly fun!
I loved the alternating POVs and timelines and was honestly very much on board for the ride. The last few chapters left quite a bit to be desired, but up until that point, this story was really solid.
