Interpreting lycanthropy as a chronic illness is a really interesting premise, and this book does pretty well with it. 

There were a few points where I disagreed with the author about how people use Discord and Tumblr.

Took me longer to read than I wish it had, but that had nothing to do with the book itself. It is a great read with a lot of wit, it is very targeted towards Gen Z and their type of humor and at some points was a bit much.

I really enjoyed it and I felt like I learned a lot about Chronic Illnesses that I didn’t know before.

I'm always a sucker for books with found family. probably would have rated it higher if I read the print or ebook.....it doesn't translate to audiobook super well, but it was still sweet.
