Started quite well, about the struggles of starting uni as an anxious teen, but I got a bit bored of the main story about halfway through. I enjoyed the fanfic sections a lot more than the actual story. It is always weird to read american stories where public transport doesn't exist and everyone drives everywhere, and i could never tell when the references to e.g Watford, England being a desirable place to live were /intended/ to be jokes or not.
