Alice Oseman never fails! This was the first long audiobook I’ve listened to and I really enjoyed it. A very nice book and it made me love Tori even more! Now I have a better look at Michael too and I love him a lot. Someday will probably pick up a copy of this and actually sit down and “reread” it!

I read this after reading Radio Silence, and you can definitely tell that this was her first book and that she wrote most of the plot at 17. Because of this, some of the characters suffer. Tori and Michael were the most fleshed out characters, and yet I not only connected the least with them but also felt like I never learned a lot about them. That being said, I read this in a day and it was very enjoyable.
