I donā€™t think there is ever going to be a book I dislike from Alice Oseman.  This book was fantastic.  Tori Spring has always been a favorite character of mine and her book was amazing.

This book dealt with a lot of heavy topics but it was written so nicely.  Tori dealing with undiagnosed depression, her complicated relationship with her mother, her brotherā€™s mental health, the odd age of figuring life out only to find she doesnā€™t care about anything.

The asexual rep in this was lovely and I liked how the relationship with Tori and Michael was written.  This whole book was just so lovely in a hurt/comfort way.
