i loved this book. i loved the conversations it brought up about girls in games, but also about knowing one’s worth and not allowing others ideas or promises change that.
i really enjoyed the story and the characters, especially the dynamics between all of the characters. the fact that aaron and divya didn’t change who they were throughout the story made me so happy, because the media forcing girls to change/limit the sass they give to people they’re interested in is SUCH a tired take. eric knocked it out of the park with this one.
related, there’s a law and order svu episode that is similar to this story and it’s one of my favorite episodes, so it was nice to relive that without the really bad parts.
