Been avoiding it for a long time, because I got the impression when it was first coming out that it was kinda a queer story written for straight people and most of the people who I saw talk about it seemed to be almost fetishizing the story. But I ended up with a copy and it only took an hour to read, at max, and I'm very glad I did. It's very sweet and cute and I felt that all my previous concerns weren't based in reality but rather some skewed reviews years ago.
