Dear Wendy was my most anticipated read for 2024 and it did not disappoint.

I loved the silly petty instagram feud. I loved watching the friendship bloom between Sophie and Jo. I loved the discussions about queerness and society. 

Also I can’t believe Conan Gray’s song People Watching wasn’t mentioned?? So aro/ace coded to me! 

An aroace person asking another aroace if they’re about to kiss is peak comedy LOL


“Like, my person, my closest confidant, will probably always have someone else—a romantic partner—that they're closer to."
So RELATABLE!!! It really does make you feel inadequate because you can make all the platonic gestures in the world but you’ll never be what they’re looking for in the end :/
