This was so much better than I expected when I started it! Beautiful story about fandom, found family, taking chances, and standing up for yourself! I loved Charlie, Taylor, Jamie, & Alyssa so much! As someone that’s been able to find a home and comfort in fandom, I loved that this was basically a love story to fandom and how being different isn’t a bad thing even if you’ve been told your whole life that it is. I also loved getting to see two very different love stories happening simultaneously. One being a best friends to lovers, mutual pining situation where they just really love each other for exactly who they are. And the other being a celeb romance between two people that have been fans of each other for awhile. Both of the relationships just felt so natural and so well developed for a pretty short book! The autistic & bisexual rep were also so incredible! There’s honestly so much more I could say about this surprise of a book but I’ll just leave it at this and say that I very very highly recommend this book for anyone but especially anyone that’s found comfort in fandom throughout their life!
