THIS BOOK. IS AMAZING.
I've never read an Alice Oseman book before, and this one was most definitely the right choice.
I'm ace, so I really related to A LOT that Georgia felt and had to explain, and I really loved seeing that represented, because I literally never have before. It made me feel so seen.
Also, the characters were so well written, and I just loved the whole story (and that they were theater kids!) 
Amazing all around, this might be tied with The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo for my favorite book!

I had the audacity to think I may be the exception to the rule and not be called out by Georgia. I was wrong. I also had the audacity to wait over a year to read this book. That was a mistake. I loved this book.

fantastic aro ace and general queer rep. beautiful friendship and found family dynamics, which are rarely the main focus of a story in the way they are here. pacing was a bit slow at times and the first half felt extremely repetitive, but the second half was so authentic and touching that it made up for it.
