I listened to this a few years after watching the show. I felt like the pace (especially in the beginning) felt off. A lot of time is spent establishing characters etc. until the real conflicts begins to unfold. However I think the characters is were this book shines the most, all of them felt so real and three dimensional (very different from the show sadly). I was very happy to see (possibly) aro and ace main character in the book that was not reduced to these aspects, although the labels are never explicitly mentioned.
