A really interesting story that combines grief and the way fandom can help us heal as well as the ways in which we consume media through and with other people. I really enjoyed the way we were drawn into the world of Little Blue and especially everything it told us about Vivian and the narrator.
This book definitely is one of the most interesting character studies I've read in a while and I liked the way the story was centered around an encyclopdia of characters. This forced the story to be very minimalist in it's scope and yet it managed to show us glimpses and insights into hurt and grief, but also love and healing. Little Blue is very fleshed out and fascinating and I also adored the way trans friendship was portrayed between Vivian and the narrator and the grief that follows losing this often unique connection.
I also really enjoyed the end of the story and found myself weepy eyed at times.
TW for death, grief and drug use.
