The narration by Elisabeth Hopper was top-tier, I've never listened to a better audiobook! This book gave me such warm and cozy feelings, like being cocooned in a giant blanket with tea (or hot chocolate, for Georgia).
Of course the book was also painfully YA with its predictable conflicts, obvious situations and perfect endings, but despite the lack of richness in plot the story filled its purpose well. I totally understand why this book would be important to many (and hell, its inclusivity is SO FUCKING IMPORTANT), I found several things relatable as well (from being a first-year uni-student to the questions about sexuality).
thank you to both Alice Oseman and Elisabeth Hopper for this experience! I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it this much as a physical book as I would've had to concentrate more, but just like this it succeeded at filling a hole of some kind (not a vagina, Georgia).
