Dear Wendy by Ann Zhao

4.5

College-aged MCs + hidden identity!

Sophie starts an IG account called "Dear Wendy" where she gives relationship advice to the students at her small liberal arts college. The only person who know she does this is her roommate, as the account is anonymous.

Jo starts a similar account, called "Dear Wanda," but wants it to be more fun than serious.

But a fued begins between Dear Wendy and Dear Wanda, all while Sophie & Jo become friends in real life and bond over being aro/ace and start a campus club!

I flew through this one from basically start to finish without stopping because it was so good and I had to know what happens!

I loved loved loved the concept of the plot mixed with the hidden identity aspect. It was so so so so fun to see them fued online over something semi silly, but also see them become friends in real life.

I LOVED the aro/ace representation so much. As someone who is demi & grey (under the ace spectrum), so much of how they were feeling and their conversations were so relatable and just made me feel so seen.

Absolutely recommend this one!
