Alice Oseman has been one of my favorite authors throughout my teenage years, and it’s only fitting that their first book is my last stop in the osemanverse. Although the plot was not my favorite, Tori quickly became one of my favorite characters of all time. She spoke to a part of me that has long since changed, but I will always remember. I cannot put into words how beautiful that representation felt.
