Alice Oseman never disappoints, honestly. Their books have this...charisma that makes me want to die out of happiness. The characters are amazing and the plot was very unique and interesting. I love the take on 'fandom culture' and how we treat celebrities. The mental health portrayal was well done and THE FRIENDSHIPS!! I love the friendships in Alice's books the most.
Man, I so wish The Ark were real. I wanna listen to their songs now😭
P.S. No one fucking come near Jimmy or I'll take out the knife🔪
