I got this without realising it was book 2 of the series
But i still was able to connect to these characters to this group of friends
This is such an important topic that this is happening in the US and also parts of the UK. I am sobbing at seeing myself in a book like this. Book loving peeps who come together to stop making it difficult for students to get LGBTQIA+ Books. If i had had a group of friends like this when i was younger, the stuff we could have achieved

I really loved this book. The Paper & Hearts Society is quickly becoming one of my favourite book series and can't wait to read Ed's instalment.
Lucy Powrie's books are always so well written. My favourite chapter was chapter 11, set in the library where the Read with Pride group comes together with additional members joining for the first time.
I love books like this, where a group of teenagers campaign to try and make a difference when something is wrong (another example would be What's A Girl Gotta Do by Holly Bourne, one of my favourite books for this very reason). It was so good to see young people being so passionate trying to make a difference in the world.
The cast of characters was so diverse and inclusive. Representation included in this book: Filipino demisexual main character, WLW relationship, non-binary, gay, lesbian, transgender, asexual, bisexual and more that I have probably forgotten to include (my apologies!)
This book was just great and I can't wait to see more of the Paper and Hearts Society (and hopefully the Read with Pride group) in book three :)
