Good neurodiverse representation (ADHD and OCD). The pacing was a little weird towards the end but it kind of had to be. I  ort of wish the spicy scenes had been a bit more detailed. 

Anyways I really enjoyed it overall. Plus there's a lovable cat!

What I appreciated most about this book was the depiction of ADHD and OCD in the two main protagonists. They were approachable, lovable, characters who understand who they are and happen to have ADHD and OCD. I also loved the descriptions of Sebastian and the Local. I felt like I was there and that the cat would approach me at any second.
