This is the first romance book I've reread for kicks. It slaps.
The plot is very fun and I highly recommend for fat people, neurodiverse people, fanfic writers of all stripes, anyone who was invested in Game of Thrones (the crew gets love while D&D's analogs get dragged immediately and often) or other book-to-series adaptations. There's also a solid amount of geology imagery and puns.
Both main characters are extremely charming, complete people with relatable traumahe has dyslexia, she's fat, and they've both been independently emotionally terrorized by their parents.
Dade doesn't cut corners on how the experiences of her characters would impact their choices and emotional states while maintaining characters that feel like smart, emotionally intelligent adults. The relationship's emotional and physical intimacy is top notch, which is noteworthy during afalse identity plot.
It's pretty fun.
