Finished reading: Star Shipped by Cat Sebastian 📚

This book is about the queer subtext and text in every Star Trek, the found family in Farscape and Firefly, the excruciating emotional pain of anxiety and physical pain of migraines, and the joy of finding a couple people you can let your guard down around. I loved it. Bless Cat Sebastian.
