easily the best alice oseman novel. the platonic connection between frances and aled was so refreshing and lovely to read, i really believed they were meant to be connected and be in each other's lives. all the relationships in this book were beautiful, and aled and carys's bond really stood out to me. even though we didn't see them interact much,

the twist of carys being february friday and the whole universe city podcast being a message to her was so touching and lovely.

my only real complaint is that carol and her actions felt cartoonish at times, especially at the end of the book. i don't want to trivialize the way she abused her children of course, but she felt more like a mustache twirling villain than an abusive mother trying to regain control. it took me out of the story a bit.
