I don't know, Lana just has a way of hitting me in my feels.
Here's what you can expect in this book:
- Nerd Friend Group representation in a high school setting
- feelings of being left behind because friends are dating or don't seem to need you anymore
- being completely oblivious about someone crushing on you
- a non-binary best friend who likes to rail against capitalism; a goth girl bff who is a visual artist; a loving older brother who protagonist is irritated and supported by. Friend group shenanigans.
- acknowledgement that GPA != how smart or talented you are
The protagonist has severe migraines which come up a few times in the book but are not the plot of the novel. The protagonist is also fat and I think Ace(?) But these are also not the focus of the novel (although the protagonist does design an app to help people figure out if their crushes are required and then is very confused by how popular it gets.)
