Work fried my brain so this is all I can do:
-Gideon being constantly distracted by the pretty girls around her is a mood.
-I still don't really know what the main plot was. I sort of understood what the characters were doing at each moment but not really what the actual, overarching story.
-I don't really mind.
-The worldbuilding was so original???
-This had some of the best character work I've ever seen. The layers! The nuance!
-I felt all the feelings. I laughed (actual, real laughter). I cried. I was grossed out and scared and delighted and sad.
-That ending. That. Ending.
All in all it was confusing but also incredibly good? Idk I just really liked it.
