5.0
A joy to read, complex and sharply written. every single character has their own distinct voice, flaws and motivations that are explored with the deepest of empathy. Oseman understands the teen experience, internet/internet culture like no other writer in YA fiction, dissecting all of it's delight and darkness with such care and curiosity that allows for the innocence of the novel's teenage protagonists to brilliantly shine through. Her talent is undeniable !!!
