not too sweet, not too bitter. i liked the openness of the ending, feeding the fire within the reader while not giving a fake sense of hope where there is none. the characters were diverse, powerful and really lovable. the AFAB autistic representation was really good although I wouldn't use the term Asperger's syndrome because of the nazist connotations and the problematic division of the autistic folks by 'high/low-functioning' labels which is harmful and affected the character quite a lot. a bit ironic to use these terms when talking about Erin who experienced pain due to them:/ 

but still i can call it a quick read perfect for my femininity struggles:)
