 I have a lot of feelings for this book.

Without any spoilers, I can say that it a nice contemporary that feels real on its characters as teens. It is first person narrated, so you are a lot in the MC mind, however that didn't stop me from feeling I was righ there. I didn't felt like a reader, but as a friend that was with them. I think that even if the specific situation of the MC is not like it was for you in your teen years, it is still very relatable.

The angst, the confusion, the thrill, the doubts. Friendship, high school, the future... it feels very relatable. Thanks Alice Oseman for this book. 

It is so well written that when Aled's identity as The Creator goes out there, I felt anxious and my stomach was making somersaults. I was worried and anxious and then at the end, I was so worried for his well being that I was Frances. I couldn't stop reading. I needed to know, that he was okay, that their friendship wasn't just over. And his relationship with Daniel; even though I never had something similar, how he discovered his demisexuality talked volumes to me. So thanks for that representation in there!
