I think the overall concept was really interesting and I liked the choice to focus on one of the most iconic fandoms of the past two decades.
She does an exceptional job with weaving in the pre-Internet history of fandoms into the present day. I felt so connected to the story as someone who grew up with One Direction being my favorite band.
My main critique is that I feel she spent too much time detailing the ins and outs of Larry shippers vs the Antis. I found myself mostly skimming over the ending.
