Sweet, a little cringey, very YA but I enjoyed it, I wish I had read this when I was younger.

I think when a book means so much to you it’s hard to give it an adequate review. Like Mr Knightley said, “If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.” This book stared into my very soul and made me understand myself in a whole new way, and it gave me so much hope for my future. I laughed and cried and was rendered speechless. I felt like I WAS Georgia.

I've never been a huge fan of contemporary fiction but this book had me hooked from start to finish. Although all the characters had their flaws they were overall loveable and their flaws only heightened this trait. The whole story was heartwarming and bittersweet with just enough drama to keep it interesting without overwhelming the reader.

I chose not to rate this book. Not because it’s bad—it’s really not—it just definitely wasn’t for me. If you enjoy contemporary YA, I’d absolutely recommend it!! You would probably love it!

I’m just coming to the realization the more contemporary YA stories I read, that they just don’t interest me as much as I really want them to when I pick them up. It’s one thing if it’s speculative fiction, where the plot might have fantastical aspects to keep my interest, but when it’s a story about school and adolescent drama, I really really really struggle to care.

And that’s not to say I don’t appreciate what this story is about!! I’m asexual, so I LOVED that the story focused on challenging this narrative that romantic love is the end-all-be-all of relationship goals. I loved the way this story treated platonic friendships as love stories. I really did. I just would’ve found it more engaging if those elements were explored in an adult setting.

My overall experience while reading this book, was just pushing forward so I could finish it. But I didn’t want my low star rating to skew the data, because that didn’t seem fair.

There are no words to express how much I loved this book but Alice Oseman really wrote a book about my brain...like she really called me out and all I can say is thank you.
