4.5 stars!

genuinely one of, if not the most relatable books i've ever read -- i truly don't think i've felt as seen in a character than i have in georgia in a longggg time (probably because this is one of very few books i've read with a (canonically) aroace protagonist

Now, I might be biased in loving this book, as I feel quite similar regarding my sexuality to that of the main character's throughout the story, but it is truly a breath of fresh air! It is great to be able to relate to a character's feelings when involving love, and to be able to realise that other people in this world think and feel as I do, and that there may be a reason (and a name) for it! This book is so so comforting to me, and I assure you, I will be reading this again soon.
What I actually disliked in this novel were the few things that seemed basic in a storyline such as this one, or other Young Adult fictions depicting self importance and love. Like, when one scenario would happen, it was like - 'Oh no! I know what's gonna happen next to make this as dramatic as possible!'.
Yes, it can be like that it a particular section of the book, but the simplicity of this ties greatly with the intensity and depth of the main character's feelings.
Overall, the message of the novel is beautiful and serves as a translation for some who need to disclose what they really feel and think.
