i vaguely enjoyed reading this book but found it repetitive and condescending. i respect a lot of books written for a specific audience but this one couldn’t decide if it was for people who loved 80s stuff or everyone else. it was weirdly misogynistic and tried to sweep that under the rug with aech's identity reveal. idk. i get liking this, but it checked pretty much no boxes for me besides being easy to read.
