I really liked it! It felt different than the other Alice Oseman books I have read, however just as raw.
Tori Spring is a complex character and one I have always felt drawn to. Now I understand why.
What I didn't expect however is Michael Holden - like hello? I didn't know a thing about his personnality but getting to know him felt like a punch in the stomach. Felt so seen.
There really is not any author like Alice Oseman - she really is that special.

Alice Oseman is a fabulous writer. This being her debut novel that she published at 19, she has grasped what it’s like to experience mental illness through her characters of Tori and Charlie. Tori Spring is a pessimist, and she lives life hating everything. She doesn’t believe that she’s real. And that is the reality of depression. I’ll be raving about this book for ages.
