This is Alice Oseman’s second book and it’s light years better than Solitaire, but I still didn’t love it as much as the other books of hers that I’ve read. I related to Frances a lot in the way she felt like she needed to behave in a certain way even though that meant basically erasing her personality. I liked the theme of learning to trust and open up to others. I appreciate that Oseman puts characters of different ethnicities in her stories but in this book it seemed well-meaning but not well-executed; the characters all read as pretty same-y in spite of us being told that they have different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds.
