I really enjoyed reading this. I have heard people say this book is too woke and what I say to that is the book is about you. The extreme version of your thoughts in action are represented in this book so make some queer friends , play some queer video game, listen to diverse and lgbtqia+ stories or stfu. That being said both lead characters PPPPPIIIIISSSSED me off at many moments!! COMUNUCATION PEOPLE!!! But that’s what made it good! The characters aren’t loveable, there over-intellectual dick-heads sometimes but people like that exist. Solid read!

I don’t really understand why this book is so loved. I mean, it wasn’t bad but it really wasn’t that good either? Somehow hollow dialogue and I didn’t really love the characters, they felt almost flat at times. The only likeable character

died near the end, and I thought ”Why should I even continue reading this?” And this is my own problem, but I dislike pregnancy tropes in books.
