I saw a review that said something like "Clearly written by someone in university, in a good way" and that feels right. 

I think I would have loved this as a teenager. I loved the LGBTQIA+ representation, the focus on platonic love and friendship, and how well the awkwardness and confusion of being a teenager was depicted. 

The plot was also good, though predictable at times.

Like, it seemed obvious from the start that February Friday was Carys and the podcast was a cry for help.

But I can't fault YA for being YA.
