Alyssa Cole's novella featuring Reggie and Gus turned into an ode to all things nerdy, and it went... almost a tad overboard? She definitely did her research, or is just a big ol' nerd herself, and who am I to be a gatekeeper?

Most of the references felt a little surface skim-y, but referencing Aquicorn Cove was like a gold little cherry on top and I felt *seen*.

I also really admired the fact that there was not one, but two neurodivergent protagonists, and the way she acknowledged issues with accessibility, as well as microaggressions and challenges wheelchair users face daily.
