What I really liked about this book:
- representation around every corner, especially the leads being, respectively, neurodivergent and plus size
- nods to the asoiaf fandom, especially the braime shippers
- beautiful prose that works just as well describing deep emotions as it does fanfiction excerpts
- writer clearly has mastery of of her craft; i will read more of her work
What I didn't care for:
- the resolution came to close to the end, not allowing for a proper denoument
- i didn't find some of the knee-jerk reactions believable when
Marcus told april his online alter ego. at that point, i would think she'd understand and be more forgiving
Graphic: Fatphobia, Ableism, Body shaming, and Cursing
