  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I came to this from Heartstopper, and it's different to the beautiful, heart warming loveliness of that bubble. Slightly darker, though I understand the re-release was edited to remove some even darker aspects. 
I didn't connect with Tori. I was hoping she'd be a strong female lead, but she seemed oblivious to what was going on around her until it was pointed out by other (male) characters. Yes, she "doesn't care", but she's also written as very clever, so how did she miss these things? 
I still enjoyed it, and read it very quickly. I think I more enjoyed it as getting some other back ground to what's happening in Heartstopper.
