A review by bohemienne
Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz, Kat Helgeson

4.0

Sweet, honest, raw, messy. I'll admit I went in expecting it to cleave closely to the universal fandom experience throughout the book, so I was surprised by some of the sharp departures made from that narrative. The actual show they were fans of didn't really feel very fleshed out, either, and the book didn't so much as touch on a lot of the problematic aspects of fandom that I think warrant a deeper and respectful exploration. But as a character study in mental illness, the wildly blurred lines of friendship and love and internet and real, and the way shared obsessions can play into that, it's excellent.
