The differences between the two families
The (in)action of the school
The toxic friendships 
The sideplot with the sister getting married 
The well drawn different and messy personalities
And also so cute 

Other things I've read/looked at for this book 
 

Ooof. 
First the community, the people, the parents was portrayed so perfectly, so hilariously 
The crush just snuck in there for me. I barely noticed it until... well
And then ooof
I should have seen that coming
It was kind of obvious.
But oof.
Serving ice cream.

I thought the family elements were really cute. 
Maybe comics just aren't for me? 

This induced rapid blinking.
Those emails to mom.
The reveals at the end.
The different interactions with parents.
The different arrangements of jealousy.

Really fascinating worldbuilding
Would love to see more on the minutia of the school 
And the lessons
The political conflict feels like we're scratching the iceberg.
This would be great as a videogame.

I just don't think superheros are for me

Thinking about 
The endless complications of hereditary magic.
The cost of magic as portrayed in different systems.
Institutional ghosts. 
Mental health and grief in character arcs verses reality.

Thinking about
how interpretation of empathy with oppressors changes between people abused with their family and people abused by their family
how first person narration limits thematic interpretation 
and limits minor characters
and affects the application of twists
a marketplace where people pretend to shop 
the way I bounce off this is the love interest coding
