2025 Re-Read - 4.5 stars
Despite the heavier topics in this novella, it was a joy to revisit alongside it's companion graphic novel!
2022 Original Read - 4.5 stars
This was my first introduction to Alice Oseman's "traditional" writing and I adored it just as much as their graphic novels!
It was nice to get to know the characters a little more, especially during a point in time I had already read about briefly in the graphic novel. It especially got me hyped up to read Solitaire soon - I need more Tori! (Also, Oliver's chapter was so precious & I hope farther down the road we will get a novel about him!)
I just really adore Oseman's character's and the topics that are discussed in an honest way, any generation can get something out of these stories!
