Love!! Love love!! The way he writes Scout in a modern setting is just [chef kiss emoji here]. He’s very careful about how he handles some of the sensitive topics listed, like the internalized homophobia and the self-harm. It’s tasteful and not off putting like it can be, but do make a note of them if you are sensitive to those sorts of things in particular.
It’s currently a work-in-progress, but I’m still so invested I just have to know how it ends!! Highly recommend if you’re into MediScout and want a modern au that gives you all the comfort of a coffeeshop au-type setting but with more medical drama.
