Seriously life changing. Super short and changed the way I think about chores (“care tasks”) without being too condescending or trite. KC takes disabilities and functioning into account and that's what I needed, more than Kondomari teaching me to throw shit away to spark joy. I recommend this to anyone who lives in a home, fr.

This was really good!! This was a story I didn't know I needed, wholesome YA cuteness about being yourself along with surprisingly profound messages about boundaries/family. A love letter to fandom (yep, furry fandom) and Internet culture and found family and just a whole warm hug. Honestly, I was really impressed with how it handled talking about mental health and boundaries. I don't usually like first person but it was necessary for this book. I actually found the main character likeable and honestly relatable to who I was when I was much younger.

Sometimes ya just need happy, warm, fuzzy feelings. Also the cover is a banger.

I wanted to like this so much more than I did. Super diverse cast, interesting premise, like if “IT” had more queer POC characters. I feel like I didn't GET it like I wanted to. I also didn't love “IT” so maybe that was my first hint.

The pacing from the second act onwards was kind of rough for me.

Overall a cute story with mildly annoying characters. A good message in the end though.

Oh boyyy. I've tried to read this 3 times and I finally finished it. I read it because I heard it was Rachel/Quinn (from Glee) coded, THEN I realized that it's the same author as Red White and Royal Blue (which is MUCH better than this book). I really disliked the main character, Chloe, to the point where she was basically the antagonist. I LOVED Shara and her character, I found her really interesting. But Chloe annoyed me so much that it truly did bring the rating down for me. I liked most of the book except the mc which is wild. It perfectly captures the ‘senior year' energy – restlessness where you find out you have more in common with these people that you've seen for 4 years... and you think “damn, what was I doing for all this time that we could have been friends?” Anyways, it's pretty good, but I couldn't stand the actual focal point of the book haha.
