Loved this. It was so clear that the author has a love and appreciatio for fandom and fanfiction. The character relationships were great and this book was so funny at points.

Made it to 10%, not inspired at all to continue listening to it

Thank you to NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review!

Honestly, I don't have that much to say about this one. I don't really think there is much to say. On one hand, there was a fairly realistic portrayal of high school relationships (friend and otherwise) which is nice to see. On the other hand, I got bored. Very, very bored. I ended up skimming most of the last third of the book. It was a fun premise, it's just a shame it couldn't have been more engaging. 2.5/5 rounded up.

Such a fun read! As an avid fanfic reader from a very young age, I’ve read all the tropes and AUs from so many different fandoms. This book feels like a cozy love letter to fanfic writers and readers both. Featuring some of my favorite tropes, caretaker, enemies to lovers, and coffee shop AUs, this book was a joy to read! I will say that the only thing I wish would’ve been explained or discussed more was *what* exactly brought Weston to life. This book seemed very lifelike with teenage characters in a normal school, but out of nowhere, this magical event happens and there ends up being no satisfactory conclusion as to why or what caused it. “Your longing and imagination” just doesn’t cut it when it comes to someone coming to life and it even gets mentioned by the MC that “my imagination won’t work this time” to resolve the issue. Maybe that’s because I’m more used to other fantastical elements playing a role in such a scenario, but it felt a little lacking in its explanation. However, it didn’t detract from the overall coziness I felt when reading this book.
