    Branding Her

    By the Numbers

    Six books, mapped. Who's connected to whom — and what the series actually does, every act, toy and first, counted from the text.

    Books 1–6

    Alex sings anyway: Hello in the car, Milkshake on the sidewalk, Total Eclipse of the Heart in the cabin. Her father says her karaoke once cleared a restaurant in London. Her brother’s review: “She used to sing in the shower. Not good.”
