While I enjoyed this book for the most part, some of the things I enjoyed early on and was delighted by (the shade on the GoT showrunners, the little fanfiction excerpts, the group chat), it felt like the author relied to heavily on them and they broke me out of the story more and more as time passed. I definitely felt the vulnerabilities of the main characters, and thought those were handled well, but I also felt like I didn't actually get to know the characters all that deeply. I think seeing more interactions of the two protagonists outside each other might have helped, to get a better feel for them and lend some depth. As someone who is a little part of a fandom and who also has some shade of her own for the GoT showrunners, the sparks of those delights elevates this to 3.75 stars.
