I don't know what happened. I began reading the excerpt for this book a day ago, suddenly I was at page 200 at midnight, and now it's the next evening and it's done. The fast paced sorta light book was what I needed right now.
Also here for the ace characters. That was why I considered reading it in the first place.

my first impression of this book was not the best – it had not lived up to radio silence and heartstopper for me personally. but reflecting back on it, i think i was too harsh, and this is a good story. if you are craving to read something more after oseman's other books/stories, this is a good, heartwarming read

I really enjoyed this listen! Alice Oseman constructs characters so beautifully and in this instance, I particularly loved the way she constructed the personas of the boys in the Arc. Their relationships to one another felt so human and sincere, and I loved discovering their decline into human issues like mental illness and insecurity/paranoia.
I initially didn’t love Angel or her family dynamics but she did grow on me a bit more throughout the novel
