Alice Oseman writes that her aim was to write books she would have wanted to see as a teenager. It means she writes with a tenderness and love and authenticity that I’ve rarely seen before in a YA book, unafraid to write about queer teenage insecurities while managing to leave out tragedy and drama to a perfect extent.
I cried. This was a fantastic book, especially to read after having several coming outs recently.
