Wow! Reading it after “Heartstopper”, I don’t know what I was expecting to be honest. But it certainly wasn’t this. While definitely being darker than “Heartstopper”, it carries all its strong suits: clever thought out characters and relationships, a realistic setting, a pretty diverse character set (tho not as diverse as “Heartstopper” and I just love the way Alice Oseman, approaches these heavy subjects from a point of view of relatability. 

Also I just loved Tori! She made me laugh, cry and maybe relate more than I would like to admit.

While I struggled a bit with my rating anything less than 5/5 would seem unfair.
