I enjoyed this book and loved the main characters and the lesser characters - they were multidimensional and their connections felt real. I was reminded of Fangirl - though the fandom of xfiles was more tactile since I actually know fans of the show in real life. Lula and Rory are both sweet and have lots to deal with - I hope all kids get as many interested and caring adults in their lives - even though I hope none of them take as many chances as Lula or get as hurt as Rory.
