• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

I may update this review later when I've processed my thoughts about it, but suffice it to say that Alice Oseman has produced another winner.  I feel like any of the characters she has created could walk through my door right now, flop down on the sofa beside me and have a chat - that's how realistic they are. This book is funny, moving, insightful, and an ode to friendship.

Content Warnings

Graphic: Alcoholism, Mental illness, Sexual content, and Cursing

Moderate: Homophobia

Minor: Emotional abuse, Violence, Toxic relationship, Suicidal thoughts, and Bullying

Internal & external aphobia (the narrator is confused about her sexuality, also others question asexuality/aromanticism due to ignorance). When I say above how this book features graphic sexual content, this takes the form of conversations about sex/acts of a sexual nature between the characters. There are no explicit scenes featuring sexual intercourse itself.
