~actual~ platonic friends/lovers? YES
Just YES.
Just to be clear, this book WAS NOT fast paced. But I still loved it. It's the book that you curl up by a window with some hot cocoa to read.

Liked how aro/ace representation was handled; while did take issue with things being wrapped up in a bow by the end.

i constantly found myself moved to react to this book out loud—real laughter and surprise and suspense and delight that needed to be physically expressed. ann you're my hero.
also i am technically thanked in the acknowledgements of this book (not by name but i am counting it) and i will be bragging about that for a while now because basically that makes me famous.
this book is so fucking awesome and i'm glad it exists.

It was such an awesome read, I loved reading a story about aspec people who are already sure about their identity.
||I was honestly glad the writer didn't take the conflict between the two characters too seriously bc it truly wasn't that serious, even tho it felt like that for the characters.||
The only problem I had was that Ann Zhao tended to shorten conversations that had already happened. So it was quite a bit of 'after x explained y to z...' . Which kind of annoyed me once I started noticing it.
But regardless I fell in love with these characters as soon as I met them and I love their story so much.
