It's difficult sometimes to read books with characters who don't seem to feel anything. And I know in this case the whole point is her apathy and her rocky mental health. But it's just frustrating to read sometimes. Her self-sabotaging also falls into this category.
I'm also really struggling to imagine reading this book having no idea of the story of Heartstopper and I can't quite, which is probably just because I do know the story and therefore fill in the blanks as needed.
There are lots of great things about this book, there really are. I think the characters were actually pretty compelling for the most part, and some of the language was really delightful to read. I like the book as an expansion of the Heartstopper universe and will absolutely be reading Oseman's other novels.
