I almost DNF'd this book as I had a hard time feeling connected to the main character of Angel in her chapters but enjoyed Jimmy's chapters, which is new for me and an Alice Oseman book to not generally enjoy it. Overall, while it dealt with difficult topics that are important to young adults, it still felt a bit superficial. But it's a decent /easy quick read if that's what you're looking for.
