Okay, can someone write a fanfiction about all the Matthew Quick book MCs sharing one world where everyone become friends and then I can let go of a feel-good sigh?

This is another gem by Matthew Quick but this one comes with a different flavor. Nanette O'Hare is your academe model. Being the soccer star player and a top student in her high school, Nanette always feels like she needs to go beyond everything she is asked to do. But everything changed as soon as her favorite teacher, Mr. Graves, gave her a copy of The Bubblegum Reaper, a renowned book that has been pulled out of shelves after a successful publication for unknown reason. The book made Nanette feel different and this awakening leads her to new people in her life - Nigel Booker (the author), Alex Redmer, Oliver, and the Thatch twins. But will Nanette's new life finally fits with the voice inside her head? Or will this change of lane be abandoned and will come at a high price and devastating consequences?

I have high expectations for this book since both TGLORN and FMLP (Matthew Quick books) made me cry and well, Every Exquisite Thing delivered a new kind of goodness I devoured in one day. Like before, Matthew successfully established the characters in this book with their unique attributes and characteristics that made everyone stood out. I love how he incorporated the daily struggle and how it feels to be someone experiencing depression. I feel so attached with Nanette the same thing I poured my empathy to every Matthew Quick books I encountered.

Though this book has some trigger warnings like depression, grief, bullying, and minor rebellion, it is still an enjoyable ride that will make you question your existence in this universe.
