When I read this, like I did enjoy it. It was a fun read and it reminded me so much of when I was obsessed with youtubers. I just didn't like the conflict a bit, but overall entertaining.

Not my all-time favorite Becky (shoutout to Imogen, you have my entire heart), but still a lovely realistic YA fiction book. And honestly, the bisexuals really are winning, and I’m here for us🫶🏻

One of the most insufferable books I have ever read. Just exhausting. The Becky albertalli falloff is so crazy.

🌅 Amelia, If Only by Becky Albertalli 🌅
MY RATING: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amelia is obsessed with YouTuber Walter Holland—and convinced they’d click if they met.
So she plans a road trip with her best friends to his meet-and-greet. But along the way, Amelia starts to wonder: are the butterflies she’s feeling really for Walter… or someone else?
This was so good????? I really enjoyed Imogen, Obviously, but didn’t feel super connected to it. This one - I absolutely loved from page one and it made me want to reread Imogen. This book was so sweet. I loved all of the characters, the story, the commentary on parasocial behaviour, coming of age/finding yourself vibes, everything. The only thing I wish is that there was maybe a bit more romance between our gals and more indication on both sides, and/or more time at the end to see them together. And without any spoilers - I need a book about our two guys 👀. I loved the writing in this, the vibes and feelings, and will definitely reread it in the future. I highly recommend it.
Read this if you like:
- friends to lovers
- fast paced
- road trips
