I really enjoyed this! When I started, I was worried that it might end up being a 3 ⭐ read since I wasn't quite feeling it but pretty soon I really got into it.
I liked the discussions about the reaction to Chris and Shireen on the show - I think it's important to talk about things like that (especially when they're usually swept under the rug - will personally never forget the season of Bake Off when they got rid of nearly all the contestants of colour by week 4 🙃)
and when Niamh was like "they're calling me ginger" on response to Shireen receiving ACTUAL RACISM???? I knew something was up with that girl, you cannot hide from me
