4.0

I really enjoyed this - the 45+ main characters, the queer rep (ace and bi), the gaming and nerd culture, the way that Maggie and Aiden fell for each other. It was so sweet and perfect. What I did not love was the really toxic families, how long that dragged on, and hthe horrible things they said. I know it’s realistic but it’s also super traumatic and I wish there was less of it. 

Overall a great read.
