I think Alice Oseman showed us another perspective on friendships, romance, family/parents and university. Romance isn't the most important thing in life, at least not to everybody out there. Friendships are amazing but they face struggles as well. Parents don't always know what's best for you and definitely don't always do what is best for you. This story showed how parents can be pretty toxic too, however there weren't a lot of explicit scenes making this book a bit easier to get through without making it seem less important to do something about an abusive connection you have.
The only thing I struggled with were the sometimes chaotics timeskips. Sometimes I wasn't fully sure what exactly was happening and where which character was, making the story a bit messy to follow here and there.
