This. Book. It is incredible. It is so well thought out and told in a masterful way. I loved the use of different formats/media. I love how complex the characters are and you truly grow to love them and hate them all at once. It is the story of true friendship and intimacy deeper than romantic love. The only reason it is not fully 5 stars for me is that the it discusses the reality of being mixed race and the concept of appropriation that I do not agree with. However the diversity of the characters is well done in this book. This is one of the only 400 page books I have ever felt really excited to continue picking up and didn't feel like it was a slog to get to the end. I never wanted it to end.

The basic story and writing could be cute, but the toxic main character relationship made it hard to finish. Also the writing felt like it was trying to be something or prove something that often didn't match what the story was doing.

This book is just so deeply unpleasant. My worst reading experience of 2022 by far.
