🫶 Hurt/Comfort

☀️ Grumpy x Sunshine 

I don’t think there is ever going to be a book I dislike from Alice Oseman.  This book was fantastic.  Tori Spring has always been a favorite character of mine and her book was amazing.

This book dealt with a lot of heavy topics but it was written so nicely.  Tori dealing with undiagnosed depression, her complicated relationship with her mother, her brother’s mental health, the odd age of figuring life out only to find she doesn’t care about anything.

The asexual rep in this was lovely and I liked how the relationship with Tori and Michael was written.  This whole book was just so lovely in a hurt/comfort way.

Spice Level: n/a

Release Date: 02, May 2023

POV: First Person

Rep: Asexual (MC), Pansexual (SC), Gay (SC), Bisexual (SC), LGBTQIA+ characters, Depression
