I read this book a while ago… on accident somehow. And it so unexpectedly wormed its way into my heart and to the top of my recommendation list. It’s not something I would necessarily read, the special interests of the characters aren’t particularly interesting to me… and yet I was never bored. 

This was like a conversation with someone who captures your attention & heart with something they’re super nerdy and passionate about but you don’t know or care a lick about in your own right
