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.
