I really enjoyed this listen! Alice Oseman constructs characters so beautifully and in this instance, I particularly loved the way she constructed the personas of the boys in the Arc. Their relationships to one another felt so human and sincere, and I loved discovering their decline into human issues like mental illness and insecurity/paranoia. 

I initially didn’t love Angel or her family dynamics but she did grow on me a bit more throughout the novel
