I really liked this book. It was a great exploration of how school put pressure on kids to follow an academic parth (university and ext.) And how harmful that can be.

I don't hate this book, but I don't like it either.
There were a lot of things that I was feeling icky about... I don't think the demisexual rep is well done and some other  things that bothered me about the characters...

I didn't like the writing, I found the story... Well, meh? I liked the whole podcast thing but that was about it.

I'm one of those people who enjoyed solitaire a lot more. Not that I don't have my problems with it as well but in comparison I like it more than radio silence.

It's moody kind of read, I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot but that's about it.

<minor_spoiler> This book feels like the two main characters will get together but they don't. </minor_spoiler> Romance isn't the book's main focus and sometimes it's nice just to have a strong friendship. The book discusses fandoms being stalkerish and their effects on real people. The book leaves a strong message.
