One of my favorite things about this book was how delicately and effectively the life of a non binary person was explored. I liked how the book showed that not everyone is always happy and accepting, but some are.

I liked both characters and seeing their relationship. However, I did feel like everything developed very quickly and randomly. The trope of always solving things with sex also really gets on my nerves.

However, this was a very fun read. I absolutely love when books center around reality TV shows, so I wish we would have gotten more of that as opposed to a stream of consciousness sort of writing whenever they cooked. But this was a very enjoyable book that I really enjoyed.
