2025 reread: this is my 3rd time reading this one and I still love it. The fake friendship / friendship of convenience trope is great, their chemistry and mutual pining are excellent, and the mix of softness and fierceness this book and it's MCs has is lovely. As someone more recently exploring my own neurodivergence, Ziggy bring autistic was interesting to read. I liked that her experience and Frankie's experience have similarities but are unique, and how that was even shown in Zig's own journey from the burnout that lead to her diagnosis to now, years later as an adult. Seb's growth is amazing as far as his attitude and behavior go, and I like that he still keeps some of the best bits of his personality, just without the self-destructive patterns. I'm not sure why I forgot what a slow burn this one is, both for the reader but also for them (I forgot how much time the book spans), but it allowed their friendship to develop and we got both POVs so it didn't bug me too much. Overall, very glad to reread their story again.
