I picked this book up after my partner had read it and was telling me about the ace/aro rep and when I say that I have never felt so seen in a book! I was genuinely emotional while reading this book. I wish for every person regardless of age to read this cause I think that this could help so many people find themselves.

I’ve never felt more seen by a book in my life. Being aro/ace is so hard and having such limited media representation doesn’t make it easier. I fully believe that this book should be read by everyone because it truly explains what it feels like and the importance of friendships and everything about being aro/ace. This book made me cry at parts that I’m not sure people who aren’t on the aro/ace spectrum would cry at, simply because they wouldn’t be able to relate to the feelings of confusion and hurt that Georgia feels. I also firmly believe that platonic love is so much more important then romantic.

Alice Oseman is the master of wonderful characters you just adore from the start, and their complicated journeys to find themselves. Georgia, Rooney, Pip, Jason and Sunil are each utterly fantastic in their own ways, but together they're a joy to read.

Bizarrely I think I got more Heartstopper vibes from this than I did from Solitaire; maybe because Tori's story is so different to Georgia's. Either way I was here for it and I loved just reading the characters' interactions with each other.

As usual with Oseman, this handles complex and diverse issues sensitively and beautifully, without shying away from them. A lot of feels in this one, but so much joy too.
