I love this title! What a clever tie in between the main character, Mattie, and the overall feeling of being a teenager and dealing with what people see you as compared to what you feel you are yourself. Mattie is a budding magician escape artist who has tracked down her idol’s daughter hoping for guidance. Will with 2 Ls is the stereotypical BMOC at their high school. But, like Mattie, he has a secret life that he fears becoming public but also wants to escape into. Ms. Callahan focused on character development, using each event within the book to add a layer to each person and advance the story and their development. Somehow, this book felt light and fluffy but serious and heavy all at the same time. A wonderful, enjoyable balance!
