Stranger Than Fanfiction

A feel good story with an absurd amount of virtue signaling by the author. Colfer wants you to know just how much of an ally he is at every turn. The characters, though, are easy to root for and the story doesn't require much commitment. The plot keeps up at a steady clip. Yet the writing often feels a little stilted and forced. On the whole, I certainly didn't mind my time with it, and found it hard to put down despite its flaws.
