I really enjoyed the pacing of this novel up until the very end, where I feel it wrapped up far too quickly. Otherwise a speedy and enjoyable little read.

2.0

the main character thinking that only gay people are not attracted to her is funny. The last half was better than the first, honestly, but I can't say I recommend this even if the twist ending was well executed. The casual ableism wasn't great either.
