I was very much not impressed by the discussion of math girls. Several times the sister Dodger (the genius mathematician) and/or the narrator ruminates on how math girls / gifted girls are just the worst, amirite? Either they are in competition with you in math or they're in competition with you for a boy. This is presented as a Terrible Ironic Truth about the world.
I feel like this sort of female rivalry/narrator who casually puts down other women has popped up in every McGuire I've read, and I am Not There For It.
