Thanks to Berkley for the eARC; all opinions are my own.
I binge-read this book as I could not put it down. It's absolutely brilliant. I think some people could read it at a very superficial level (hot actor who played werewolf now is a werewolf) or take a more in-depth read of it about things like loneliness, and belonging, and feeling like an imposter, and social acceptance, and all of that. I appreciated that it can be a fun read but also that more layered read that can be thought-provoking.
I think there's something so fun that can happen when an author really leans into the "what if" and then sets some parameters for the universe they have created. In this instance, it was brilliant how Rosie created parameters for the rules of being a werewolf because of the tv show as well as the online forum with fan fiction. Speaking of, this book is a huge homage to fandoms and online forums and fan fiction and the communities that are created. I don't know if they exist to the same extent as they did 10-20 years ago, but I think so many millennials who were into the fandoms will see themselves in this story and appreciate how Rosie celebrates it.
Absolutely brilliant. Another winner from Rosie Danan.
