Rounded up from 3.5. I liked the story at the heart of this, and I loved the characters, and the rep (autism, lgbtqia+ anxiety disorders, and poc though that's not such a big part of the story), and the geekiness, and the way it was up front about so many issues like sexism, bi-erasure, ablism and body-shaming. The take on the downside of internet fame and fandom was heartfelt and thought-ptovoking. It was short and sweet and I definitely enjoyed reading it. However, at times I think the writing style let it down. The dialogue was so on-the-nose at times, it was unrealistic enough to jolt me from the story.
