love love love this book<3333 i’m pretty hesitant about anything that may be too dark or emotional for me but it was surprisingly a great balance - even getting to the bigger conflict build up near the end had me overwhelmed for a second and then it wasn’t nearly as overwhelming to me as i had thought 

in other details - i absolutely adore the way this book is written, these disaster gays are my favorite and i was screaming and cackling the whole time i listened and read this 

highly recommend to anyone and everyone, i will scream it from the rooftops
