Jack Edwards/Jack in the books! He reads with a more adult/literary bend and particularly likes things that are character driven, books in translation, and reading things his favorite celebrities suggested (gotta have that meme-driven content). Pretty much the only booktuber I watch because I'm also not a big YA reader.

I read it at the end of last year, and I neither loved nor hated it. My main takeaway is that Klune seems like he's probably a pretty nice guy and therefore has no idea how problematic people think. (More specifically/spoilers) >!Wallace at the beginning of the book felt like he was relying more on lawyer tropes than anything. Statements about how he was great at reading people in the courtroom (and by extension outside of it) felt contrary to how oblivious he was shown to be in the opening scene, etc. More than a reception ark, it seemed to me that once we got far enough in the book the additude was "we're far enough in the book so he is redeemed now!"!< Not ideal, but that said I enjoyed the book way more once we got there because Klune's nice characters ARE really charming and likable.

I agree with you about the ending too. I was actually hoping that >!Hugo would die in a scooter accident, and that is how they could get their "happily" ever after.!<
