I loved this book! As someone on the ace spectrum, it felt so affirming to read about a main character also on the spectrum. Georgia's relationships with her best friends - Pip, Jason and Rooney - warmed my heart.

I also just really love Oseman's writing. She is so good at writing complex characters with realistic and messy conflict. Her pacing is also always just right. I don't usually enjoy books in this genre because of the tropes and unnatural pacing, but Oseman manages to circumvent that and write stories that actually feel real. I look forward to continuing to read her work!

"You know why people pair up into couples? Because being a human is fucking terrifying. But it's a hell of a lot easier if you're not doing it by yourself."
