I really enjoyed listening to Slay. Not only is it an engaging story, but I appreciate that it provides an accessible entrance into the conversation about the need for "safe spaces" for marginalized communities.
Things I loved:
-sisterly love (even with non-blood sisters)
-gamer girl/promotion of girls in coding/STEM
-the validation that online communities are REAL communities and the sense of belonging within them is something of value
-the pure range of emotion I felt whole reading. This book had it all.
