This book both broke my heart and put it back together again. It was so good to read now but as a teenager I feel like this would have hit me so much harder because the teenagers feel like teenagers and they make mistakes and use Tumblr and have to make decisions about university and just DAMN!!! I ENJOYED IT!!!!!

This book has characters that were SO relatable. Both Frances and Aled. They just seem like real people. You could just pull them out of the page and a full fledged person will come out.

Their friendship was like a whiff of fresh air. They love each other so much and that's more than enough. Romance doesn't need to be a thing in their relationship for their love to be valid.

The whole deal with school was so relieving to read. It showed that uni doesn't need to be the end-all be-all to your life. It doesn't matter if you're good at school or not, you can still make a life for yourself.

I really love Frances and Aled's friendship, but I felt that Aled was too harsh on Frances after the cat came out of the bag with his secret identity. I know he was really stressed, but that doesn't mean he can just yell at her and blame her for everything. It wasn't all her fault. They both messed up. I'm happy they clear everything up in the end.

This is probably my favorite Oseman book to date. It's awesome.
