    I thought this was really well done! A super easy read with great humor for an anxious mind. If you’re easily bothered by the sometimes nonsensical idiosyncrasies of the neurodivergent, you may not like Phoebe as much as I do, but I found her to be really funny and honest. I love her friends and liked her journey. The pacing felt a bit off at times, and I was bothered that there was a weird pause in the audiobook before every single “too”, but I read it in a day while I had a lot of driving to do and was entertained :)

    The main character is pretty much insufferable until about 85% through. The last 15% was really enjoyable, touching, sweet, pretty exciting, and a really great ending! But June is absolutely spineless and therefore unlikable for a vast majority of the book which made it really hard to get through. The side characters had charm and even some chutzpah, but I didn’t find them to be especially compelling. There’s a hint of romance buried under a one-sided miscommunication, and some found family elements that are quite cozy, but the best part of the book was just that it was very pro-library which I find sort of inherently uplifting. So hard to have enjoyed the last bit of the story so much when the entire rest of the book was a frustrating dud!

    I’ve literally never disliked a character so much in my life. She’s such an insufferable coward🙃 does she grow? Does it take the whole book? Considering a DNF even though it’s only 8 hours
