This book hit so close to home and I loved it. The reason I took so long to read this was because I was having the worst 2 months of 2019, and I couldn’t focus on anything let alone reading a book. In the book the main character exactly says that she’s so sad she can’t even focus on reading, and oh my god, having a book/movie/game whatever that you can relate so much to really helps during those times. So thank you so much Alice for writing this book, it honestly made it a bit easier to deal with the pain. This was my first Alice Oseman read and I already bought all her other books. ❤️

I saw a review that said something like "Clearly written by someone in university, in a good way" and that feels right.
I think I would have loved this as a teenager. I loved the LGBTQIA+ representation, the focus on platonic love and friendship, and how well the awkwardness and confusion of being a teenager was depicted.
The plot was also good, though predictable at times.Like, it seemed obvious from the start that February Friday was Carys and the podcast was a cry for help. But I can't fault YA for being YA.
