This book is genius in the way it incorporated  a Benji’s book into this book. I could tell great thought was put into the character’s ambitions and motivations. The angst is never excessive because even the main characters know that miscommunication in romance can often be annoying. I much appreciate getting a look into Benji’s creative process as well as his experience with psychosis. As someone who has experienced psychosis, I think the “negative symptoms” were kind of looked over, but I still think the representation was done respectfully.
