This was fun to listen to and super engaging. I loved the disability and queer rep.

I didn’t like how often the first character’s name was said. It became a sensory problem.

I didn’t love both narrators — MW Cartozian Wilson left extra space between words that I found very distracting. But outside of that, I loved the series of getting to know a person missteps. I found the world building to be a delight.

Story is cute, but felt heavy handed and thus distracting.
