I love stories that really lean into their premise - that kind of all-in enthusiasm for something specific is the kind of thing I'm super here for. Even if the premise that's been gone all-in for isn't one that ends up being For Me, I still appreciate the dedication. (Eg, a book I read a little while back which is about trans Peter Pan, which it turns out doesn't work for me because I don't care about Peter Pan, but I still was glad I read it because it was wholeheartedly doing its thing!)

I seem to be fairly good at finding/reading books that do this, which makes it all the more disappointing when I come across ones that don't.
