Interesting concept, I related a lot as a former (vaguely current) fangirl. I really apprec ated the diverse representation and appreciated that those aspects were not tokenized. However the story itself got much darker than I thought and I was not really prepared for that based on the description. The ending wrapped up much too quickly and would have loved a little more time with the characters, but I like that the author left a hopeful possible future for the main characters.
