SPOILER REVIEW 

I love literary fiction but this was bland. It set up a lot and it fell flat. The Peter stuff started abruptly and ended too nicely. I wish there was more anguish and it was used to portray the themes in character growth but because it was glossed over in the last 20% it was not used to it's fullest. A lot could be explored with the doxxing but it felt like a bullet pointed list of this happened then this happened then this happened rather than showing us how it affected the people we've been following this whole time.
What this book did nicely was have representation without it being the crux of the characters. As a non-binary person I related a lot to the main character and understood where some of the insecurities come from. I really liked the representation of autism as well, it was very surface level but it wasn't bad imo. I wish I could rate this higher but because of the lack of substance in about half the book I rate it at a 2.5
