Bisexual side characters
Hijabi Muslim main character
Biracial (Indian and Italian) main character
Black side character

Alice Oseman never disappoints, honestly. Their books have this...charisma that makes me want to die out of happiness. The characters are amazing and the plot was very unique and interesting. I love the take on 'fandom culture' and how we treat celebrities. The mental health portrayal was well done and THE FRIENDSHIPS!! I love the friendships in Alice's books the most.
Man, I so wish The Ark were real. I wanna listen to their songs now😭

P.S. No one fucking come near Jimmy or I'll take out the knife🔪

horrible parents

parents kicking out child , assault, harassement, violation of personal boundaries, one slightly inappropriate reaction to someone having a panick attack (out of ignorance)
