As someone who has participated in multiple different fandom spaces, some of the things in this book immediately put me on the defensive. But I think it was good for me to flex those muscles and really examine how I and other people were interacting within fandoms. I also think that these main characters did a lot of things that I might not do or want them to do, but I think that made me engage with the text more as well. Definitely an interesting read!

Read this in the span of 5 hours. I have to say, I did not expect the story to incorporate such heavy religious themes. It took me a bit to get into it but I'm glad I did. This was a great look at the scary world of parasocial relationships. We're all just people at the end of the day.
