I started reading it when I was 13 during 2020. I liked that I could relate to the characters at the time. Once the alpha timeline was introduced, I got upset that I had to wait to see my goats (beta characters) and stopped reading until I was 15. I continued reading and finished it during school hours, haha. I really liked how realistic it was to the experience of being 13-16 and growing up lonely/going through it. I'm glad I had it during those years, it was comforting.
