Queen B’s Decree: Adelaide was my jam; a heroine after my own heart. My sweet Adelaide has Asperger’s (and aspie characters might be my kryptonite?) and sometimes doesn’t know when to stop talking. The dialogue in The Slam was outstanding, and I really thought the author did a great job at conveying Adelaide’s feelings and actions as someone with Asperger’s.
Ender was the manwhore I love. The one who falls in love and slowly changes his ways, and watching him realize what was happening was so fun. It’s kind of like Adelaide snuck up on him.
My only criticism would be the ending, I suppose. Ender and Adelaide went from childhood friends -> sexy friends -> the end (on their ONE AND ONLY DATE!). Regardless, the abruptness of the ending was not enough to detract from my love of the story and the characters. Luckily for me (and you!) book two has recently released and I’m hoping that gives us a conclusion of sorts.
Also now I kind of want to start watching tennis?

“I don’t do relationships. We’re friends with benefits.”
“Benefits?” I mused aloud. “Like earning cash back, travel rewards, and other perks with everyday purchases?”
