Well written but confusing towards the end. Also came off a bit fatphobic. There's two plus sized characters and they make it a point of mentioning their size pretty much every time they are brought up, with characters joking about being squashed and having their bones broken in their hug and stuff like that. Lost half a star for that. And the ending was vague and confusing. The writing too flowery to actually explain what the fuck was going on which left me with a sense of confusion and ruined my closure.
