I am a Heartstopper fan turned general Alice Oseman fan. Having read the comic and seen the show, I finally had to read the origin. While this is certainly sadder and far darker, I enjoyed it immensely. I loved Tori already, but I definitely feel more for her now. I can relate a lot to her mental state now too.

This added so much depth to Tori's charcter after reading heartstopper and I love the relationships and issue that have been addressed in such an amazing way. Alice Oseman books are always the best!
