In the Lives of Puppets

This was one of my most anticipated books of the year, and in no way did it disappoint. T.J. Klune has a way with writing realistic characters and making sure you're laughing throughout the whole novel. This story took the infamous Pinocchio story and turned it on it's head. I wish I hadn't known that before going into this because as much as it is a retelling, it's 100% it's own thing, taking the story and changing crutial aspects and making it better? The main character is asexual, which is a group of people that is seriously lacking in popular representation, but the whole story isn't ABOUT that and that's my favorite way to have representation in the books I read. T.J. Klune is definitely a master of his craft and I will absolutely pick up anything he writes. This novel solidified him as an all time favorite author.
