It was a silly, goofy, fun time and made me nostalgic for my fandom days. I thought it was a good balance of poking fun at fandom and how cringe we were as teenagers in fandom, but also paying respects to it. I found the miscommunication (surprisingly) believable and think it helped to have the past timeline to establish that it was a long term miscommunication (or lack of communication) and honestly it was really relatable given I went through something similar, where communication on both sides of a friendship was lacking paired with young adult insecurities and anxieties. I enjoyed this, it was a quick and easy read.
