finishing this book made me want to immediately read all of Talia Hibberts back catalogue.
I am SO fond of all of these characters and even the side characters felt so real and fleshed out which I find with some YA is not necessarily the case.
It was silly, it was funny, it was so damn CUTE and I loved the stream of consciousness writing style interspersed with lots of inside jokes bracketed within the text. I literally laughed out loud so many times (and not just breathed sharply out my nose ahhah)
It also hits many good themes for teens in like year 11,12,13 of like what you want to do with your life, parent and families expectations, being too scared to follow the dream you actually have. Creative careers vs “stable jobs” and it also had a lot of really great family themes and tropes in there as well.
Really enjoyed the OCD representation and liked that it wasn’t Miles whole personality but felt like it could’ve been involved a little bit more!
