I want you to love me weak like I loved you crazy, and when we’re both on top again we’ll remember that we did it.

the truth is loving someone isn't a period it's a semicolon and the choice you make is what comes on the other side   maybe it's a picket fense and a subaru and 2.5 kids maybe it's a fantasy world that lives in your computer maybe it's a guild maybe it's a fandom maybe it's the last thing you ever expected   loving someone means whatever you decide it means that's the choice reall

Review -- Gena/Finn by Hannah Moskowitz and Kat Helgeson

Gena/Finn tells the tale of two young women who meet each other via a shared internet fandom they participate in as fanfic writers and artists. Gena is a recent high school graduate with a past filled with trauma and mental illness. Finnis a few years older, a recent college graduate, living with her boyfriend and trying to figure out what to do with her life. Fandom brings the two together and a strong bond quickly forms between them. Gena is clearly bisexual throughout her history and the novel’s present; Finn is a bit more difficult to suggest as being more than a very close heterosexual friend.

Eventually, Gena’s troubled past comes back to haunt her and the novel takes a heavily tragic turn. The last third of the book is an intense look at mental illness and trauma, and the impact it has on those who suffer from it as well as those around them. Huge trigger warning here for anyone who might be triggered by death, severe depression and disconnects from reality.

One other big joy for me in this read, is its form. This is very much an epistolary novel, modernized for our times and told through emails, text messages, blog posts, etc. It’s a tricky form--one that all too easily grows too expository and fails to fully flesh out its characters when done poorly. Thankfully, Gena/Finn pulls it off and while some situations seem a bit more contrived to make the form keep working, over-all it’s a fantastic, if intense read.

I've always had characters who live in my head and mess with my heart and tell me stories, and I love it.
