Volume 9 sees a bit of a shakeup for the series, with the three main characters no longer living together. However, Esther, Daisy and Susan are still friends, and very much involved in each other's lives. It was nice to get to hear a bit about Ed's background in this volume. I also enjoyed the introduction of Charlotte, and I was delighted to learn that she is in another series by John Allison that I have yet to read-
Bad Machinery, in which she and two friends solve mysteries in the town of Tackleford.
Giant Days continues to be funny, clever, and insightful. I will continue on to Volume 10 to find out how what happens next.
