Well, that was fun to read! I related to the MC a lot (except for the hand jobs) bc I'm (kinda) an auto-didact too and enjoy reading but feel self-conscious about my intelligence and inadequate around more educated, professional people. I wanted to give it a full 5 stars but took a quarter off bc of the kid. Super smart creepy kids annoy me. Well, kids in general annoy me except when they don't. And the ending kinda crashed for me, but I immensely enjoyed up to that point.
