i actually only read this because i saw a huge poster of it in Charlie’s bedroom from the Heartstopper series and felt like i needed to read it in order to understand the character even better (weird, i know, but i love easter eggs) 
this book took me about a month and a half to read and i almost gave up on it but especially the last chapter really spoke to me <3 
the political topics, societal issues and of course unrequited love and  the mystery around charles‘s and sebastian‘s relationship: it all really resonated with me and i know i will be thinking about this book a lot in the future!! 
and also: the writing is absolutely jaw-dropping stunning
