This book was such a fun romp! I enjoyed the plot, characters, their arcs, and even the third-act conflict/resolution. Sometimes the third-act conflict can feel too much to overcome and resolve, but this was perfect. I sincerely did not enjoy Jacob in the first third of the book and felt he was being overly rude verging on cruel. This is the reason I knocked half a star off. I'm also unsure about how I feel about the self-diagnosis that happens here. I think if Jacob was the only autistic person in the book, the rating would've been lower, as it would've felt like generalizing autistic people are difficult, rude, and abrupt.
