Cute story. I love Tori in this, she is a lovely character and older sister! 
Don't understand why a lot of fans act like this is an incredibly sad book though, not gonna lie. 
Did I miss that part?

I read this book in all of one hour, and while being such a quick read I really enjoyed the space that was given  expand on topics explored more briefly in the Heartstopper series. It was great to be able to see the Spring Siblings dynamic, and singular point of views. 
Personally, I find the style of writing that Alice Oseman has is one that is easy to follow yet creates incredibly complex characters and plot. This rings true throughout this book.
