What I loved is while this book leans into many of the superhero tropes we’ve come to expect in the age of MCUs and a resurgence of popularity in graphic novels, this book explored queerness and neurodivergence in relation to those tropes and made it a really fruitful, twisty reading experience. I have friends who have ADHD and some of their experiences that they have shared were identical to the MC. I imagine he’ll bring comfort to so many readers. Ugh. Just exquisite.

big thought out of the way, here are some scattered ones:
- there was a lot of build up and the climax seemed to drag on, but insufficient payoff. (though, at least there was any payoff at all, unlike Fence: Striking Distance. that's not relevant here, i just hold a grudge.)
- for the amount of times the narration described what teenage boys are like, i started to think maybe it was the author trying to convince us that he knew, like "how do you do fellow kids"
- it was genuinely funny
- audiobook reader was top tier 👌
- "I'm young and queer and in a fragile place right now." me
