u know what i really liked the last third of this! no big thoughts really. blessedly so much less corny than manhunt. the YA section i didn't really fuck with because it felt like unnecessary legwork; too perfunctory to stack up to the obvious inspo in summer of night or it. felker-martin's writing is on a leash when writing about a bunch of interchangable queer teens. there isn't quite enough space in the last ~100 pages to make it all happen but she’s putting the umm ... competition ... to shame in a couple of passages. all that said this does mention twitter on the LAST PAGE 😥 Getting scooped by my own publisher on the conversion-camp angle by "chuck tingle" would drive me to suicide i think
