Renee is tired of lighthearted teen books, so she whips out a weird one for this week. 13 Days to Midnight tells the story of Jacob, a 15 year old who tragically witnesses his dad die and gains the power of invincibility in the process. With his friend Milo and the new manic pixie dream girl Ophelia, he starts finding ways to use this power. Things go terribly wrong. This book that is so obviously written by a man just includes a lot of death, a stupid teen relationship, and Harry Houdini.
While discussing this book, Mary has horrible flashbacks to the Netflix adaptation of Death Note. Other shenanigans ensue but Renee can't remember them right now because it's 6 AM as she writes this. Listen to the episode to discover what antics we get up to this week!
