This book took me completely by surprise, it was an anticipated read, but I loved it even more than I thought I was going to. I'm always a little wary of books that are inspired by or drawn from fanfiction because I tend to find they struggle to stand on their own when removed from the fanfiction context.

But this book is the perfect example of how something can be inspired by fanfiction and still develop it's own world and story. The world-building is incredibly complex and intricate. The dynamic between the main characters is SO good, with a classic dramoine vibe but subverted through the unique personalities of the characters and the circumstances of the story. And the romcom/ unserious elements only work to make the story even more endearing.
