❤️ loved this book because...
Calico presents a clever twist on time-travel plots, melding the Old West with present-day L.A. The writing is clear and engaging, the characters are well-developed, and the book is just plain funny over and over. Most interesting to me was the way the author gives a sense of what the Old West might really have been like—smelly, really smelly, with sewage in the streets, bad food, and a lack of simple things we take for granted, such as antibiotics and painkillers.
