This book series is so important for the nerds. For the introverts. For people with anxiety and different methods of coping. 
 "I'm just sick of people who aren't neurotypical, or who had a hard past, or who can't be normal, having to have a stiff upper lip and change themselves if they want people to get them or care about them. I'm sorry, but it's bullshit. Maybe those neurotypical people should consider changing their own thoughts about what's normal and what's not, and stop expecting other people to magically change their lives." 
 And what amazing thoughts this book shares. The thirst for representation is real, and things are being done about it! 
 On the the realness of fanart: 
 "I think what it comes down to is that.. people are hungry for representation in the media. And we don't get it. Or we get it, but it sucks. We get cartoons where there's a queer character or a character who's of color, but it's just that one character. Or they're a side character with barely any lines, or they're killed off. But these shows have fandoms full of people so hungry for more that they create their own versions of these shows with fanfic or art." 
 There you go, authors. Coming straight from the pens of two successful authors - how to ensure a solid reader base. Give us diversity 
 Such great messages of acceptance and compromise were found in this story too. 
 As always, well developed characters that were just so real with all their facets and flaws.
