If You Still Recognise Me by Cynthia So

5.0

i so deeply and earnestly wish that i’d been able to read “if you still recognise me” when i was 16. i recognize so many parts of myself in elsie. and i love her dearly for it. this is one of those books that heals that part of me that is still a lonely gay high schooler looking for connection and finding it, in many ways, through fandom. this was extremely cute, surprising, and complicated. a few loose ends could have been handled better— i felt like ritika sort of dropped out of the story partway through — but oh man. i’m in tears! i loved it!
