"I ain't gonna lie and say I get you, because I don't. I can't even pretend I know what it must be like to be you. But if all this has taught me one thing, it's that it ain't about me and what I get. It's about lettin people be who they are. And being who you are shouldn't be a god damn death sentence."

I was absolutely not expecting this to be one of my favorite reads in a LONG time, but here we are. This was absolutely incredible. Emotional, funny, tense, so much representation, and multiple twists that left my jaw on the floor. So so so so good!!!

Will Wheaton has got to be one of the greatest narrators I've ever had the pleasure of listening to. This book was so much fun, and I can wait to read Scalzi's next book!
