Why am I still reading this?

It’s fine. Why y’all be bitchin?

Oh Ida. . . you’re the first romance MC who I can actually imagine myself as and projecting myself onto you is truly an incredible reading experience!

Ida is so autistic it’s not even funny- I know I’m actually going to be rooting for a romance MC for once with this one! I can already relate to her a lot so far!
