DID NOT FINISH: 23%

I was super excited to read this book because I love Heartstopper but unfortunately I'm DNF'ing. The prose isn't bad but i found the main character a bit whiny and insufferable, mostly because our personalities seems to be the opposite so not the author's fault. This book simply wasn't for me.

One of the best stories about love I've read in a while.

Ps. I hope the personal crisis I had while reading is a universal experience and not just me 🙃

Dear Alice Oseman,
I would have needed this book 25 years ago! This would have been a revelation in my early twenties!
I am not the target age group for this story anymore, and although the last 20% of the story were almost unbearable, because they contain everything I am missing in my life, I'm still very greatfull and appreciative for the excellent asexual representation ♥️
Thank you for this!

Cute concept, but I really wish it was written as New Adult instead of YA.
