I just got into Dungeons & Dragons and I just so happened to stumble upon this book. It was a cute, quick read for me. I don't typically read graphic novels but I gave this a shot and loved it. It also discusses OCD which I think is cool as an advocate for mental health.

It is a light read for the summertime. The romance between the main character and another character was inconsequential and could have been more developed. It did have a satisfying. It is important to note, that there were stereotypes based upon ethnicity and gender that show this book that felt outdated and offensive.

This is a quick novel that is thought provoking. People will experience it differently based on their identity and the type of community they live in. Well worth reading.

If you're a proscriptive grammarist, stay clear of this book. But if you are curious about how we got to where we are in language and are particularly interested in the evolution of how we speak nowadays, this is a great book for you. The author looks at common verbal tics that are so annoying to so many, and shows that most of these have been centuries in the making. Are you wondering how we got to where we are with the word literally? Do you wonder about how long ago people started using like in all the different ways that it is used today? Do um and uh serve an important role in communication? When did we start using the singular they and is it actually unusual? I found this book to be an enlightening experience. My only criticism would be that it tends to be a bit redundant and somewhat didactic about certain topics and is not shy about flogging them to death. Overall this is an interesting and educational read.

Beautiful writing, but slow start - I had to keep reminding myself to pick it back up, because the beginning didn't really "grab" me the way some books do. But it picked to a lot in the second half and I ended up loving it it. Great writing, and interesting characters that you really come to care about.

I loved this book because it was creepy and sweet at the same time which is what I like. I think that it also had some good representation of LGBTQ+ characters.
