Lead is now - officially - my favourite book of the Stage Dive series. Jimmy completely captured my heart, and that surprised me since I didn't like him all that much in the past two books of this series after discovering about his betrayal to his brother back in Lick, but reading Lead totally changed how it is I felt about him. He's vulnerable, and he may be the older Ferris brother, but he's definitely the one who has to be handled with care, and Lena did that. She also, when it was needed, ripped him a new one when he was an asshole to her. She never took his shit, and I loved that about her. She was strong, and she challenged him, and she has to be my favourite female character ever to exist. 
 Their story was hilarious, and like with Ms. Scott's other books, unique. Lena plans to quit her job after confessing to Jimmy about her growing feelings for him, but Jimmy isn't having any of that. But Lena doesn't want her feelings for him to cloud her judgment and get in the way of her work, of being both his assistant and his sober sponsor, but as much as they (sometimes) don't get along, and despite all their arguments, Jimmy does like having Lena around, and he knows that her presence is actually helping him stay sober, so he comes up with a list of things for Lena to do to get over him. HA! It was hilarious that they thought that plan would work, and it was even more hilarious watching as that list failed miserably! 
 I loved it. This book, these characters, the storyline... everything. Seeing Lena and Jimmy interact with each other, and the banter they shared, and the laughs and chemistry they had... I didn't want their book to end. It was funny - so fucking funny - and I loved every single second of reading it. It's definitely, most definitely, my favourite book of the series, and it's definitely, most definitely one of my favourite reads of 2017.
