emotional funny hopeful medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

Definitely not cute and fluffy... well, not for three quarters of it. In fact I took the the content warnings at the start pretty lightly but was way more affected than I expected, so I would urge people to make sure they are in a good head space before reading. Nothing is graphic on page but it does get heavy!

Anyway I wouldn't know how to rate this but I absolutely LOVED the last quarter. I love Tori so, so, so much. She is me, I am her. Nellie has my entire heart still. Oh and Nick and Charlie are great as always.

Minor: Self harm and Outing

If you're sensitive to arguments/stressful situations involving parents then there are some scenes involving this. Also regarding mental health:

Charlie voluntarily enters inpatient mental health care after having a mental health crisis. The mental health crisis is briefly mentioned but not described and the institutionalisation is fairly brief and glossed over, but may still be triggering for some.
