I really enjoyed reading this. I have heard people say this book is too woke and what I say to that is the book is about you. The extreme version of your thoughts in action are represented in this book so make some queer friends , play some queer video game, listen to diverse and lgbtqia+ stories or stfu. That being said both lead characters PPPPPIIIIISSSSED me off at many moments!! COMUNUCATION PEOPLE!!! But that’s what made it good! The characters aren’t loveable, there over-intellectual dick-heads sometimes but people like that exist. Solid read!

Some scenes were a  bit too close to my own near death experience. I got a good cry then didn’t need to finish the book.

This book made me feel SO MANY FEELINGS. Some happy, some sad, some furious, some distraught. But that’s what makes a good book. The writing was incredible, thoughtful and thought provoking. Just amazingly creative and clever. 
Yes there were plenty of toxic elements to the many relationships in this but navigating those is also a part of life. They were authentically human and both Sam and Sadie made mistakes. I don’t like that she still meets up with dov in the end but just goes to show the long lasting effects that (TW) grooming and manipulation can have on a person. This overall was a realistic, messy, heart wrenching, heart warming story about human connection and love. What else is there? 
The NPC has my heart. 

This review was written and book was read prior to learning about xenophobic author.

the zionism, second wave feminism, and internalized anti-asian racism is not subtle in this
