Some of the references are going to age really fast (Jujutsu Kaisen), but I enjoyed the depictions of online chat interactions. They felt pretty accurate to experiences I've had playing MMOs, even if they were a bit verbose. Overall a nice, breezy romance with little friction. It could have gone further into the sticky parts of Maggie and Aiden's lives, but it didn't have to.
