It's heartbreaking, compelling....
It reads like Georgia is just talking to you, and it wouldn't be a surprise if it's more than a little autobiographical in terms of Alice's experiences (especially as it's set at Durham Uni, where they also went).
In the end, I think it's a really interesting look at platonic love between friends.
I don't give ratings to memoirs and this felt so autobiographical that I don't want to rate it.

i recently figured out that im asexual and ive been questioning whether im aromantic or not, and this book did not help me figure that out at all. it made me more unsure about whether i actually feel romantic attraction or if i just want to feel it.
but i didnt read this book because i thought itd help me. it did help me though, i realized that it does not matter if im aromantic or not, as long as i can find love in the way that i want it.

Maybe I’ve just been in a reading slump but this dragged for me. Pretty sure it helped me figure out I’m aromantic lol
This is without doubt my favourite Alice Oseman book!! I love it sooo much!! I adore all the characters (especially Pip, who I will be forever simping over!) I also really loved that this book focused on our main character, Georgia, figuring herself out and it's really great that there is a book with aromantic-asexual representation in it, because there really isn't a lot of books with aro-ace characters! :D
I really didn't enjoy this and I'm so disappointed. The narration was nonexistent, the style was not my thing and the writing was very immature. I didn't feel a voice in this, other than the "queer knowledge" that felt preachy and was always delivered in a big speech. I managed it for 100 pages but after that I just skimmed most of it. The story itself is also almost nonexistent, every point is very predictable and the characters felt so fake.
I understand that this was a very personal story for the author (as an aroace person I *understand*), but this just wasn't it for me. I was hoping this would be a book I could recommend to friends to explain my sexuality, but I am not doing that with this one. There has to be something better out there.
