The first thing I said before starting this book was: “can’t wait for Alice Oseman to break my heart again”. And she did, but not nearly as hard as I’d imagined.
It was a book that forced you to reflect on life. So if you’re not prepared to have a minor existential crisis, maybe don’t read this. But let’s be honest, did you really pick up an Alice Oseman novel without already undergoing one?
I loved the little cameos we got from the Heartstopper/Solitaire characters. They made my heart really happy.

Long ago I was inflicted with a terrible predisposition to never say a word, and I honestly cannot understand why or how it happened.
Sometimes I was hit by the weight of all the things I didn’t know, not just about Carys but about anything, everything. What’s it like to have a parent you don’t like, or who doesn’t like you? What’s it like to run away from home? I don’t know, I’ll never know. I’ll always feel awful about not knowing.
