I liked this better than the first book.  It had such a nice set of characters, most from the first book (How to Be a Normal Person) and I absolutely loved it.  There were so many relatable things in this book, the anxiety and depression rep was well done.  The Three Queens were as iconic as ever and not to mention Gustavo being a mood the entire time and I am here for it.  All the queer rep was done much better than the last book.  Plus the whole No-Thanks Giving was really nice to read it needs to be a thing, I really liked it.  And lastly, Mitzi needs a raise tbh.
