Thought this was an interesting commentary on privilege, but some aspects fell a little flat. I actually liked Iliana and Rhodes and their motivations, but the Alice in Wonderland motif added not much of anything but aesthetic to me. In general, I'm also somewhat critical of these 'online but anonymously in love' sort of stories because, well - it boggles my mind when characters in these stories manage to keep themselves truly anonymous, when I and my own online friends very flagrantly flout that line. I think this was a cute way to pass time, but wanted a little more.
