I really love this book. I love how ADHD is represented. I love the refusal to sugar-coat truly terrible aspects of the patriarchy (including the morning after someone drugs your drink). I love the honest and productive discussion about the importance of boundaries. I love the pro-refugee stance. I love the nerdy Easter eggs. Two editing snafus aside, it’s perfection.
